Megacities
Georgetown Journal of International Affairs, Summer/Fall
ISBN: | Published: 2007 | No. Pages: 180
Cities will be home to over half the world's population by 2030, giving them an unprecedented political, economic, and cultural power. The speed and magnitude of urban growth also forebode the presence of massive, intractable slums; demographic floods of migrants; environmental decay; and unforeseen challenges in governance and planning. The uncertain boundaries, faltering structures, and ultimate sustainability of today's megacities are global concerns. From Rio to Lagos, Beijing to Moscow, this Forum explores how megacities are poised to influence and transform the new century.
