 More than 2,000 million people now live in cities: a third of the world’s population. In 50 years’ time, it is estimated that this will rise to 5,000 million.
Whilst cities can inspire social, technological and artistic innovations, they can equally foster depressing collections of poverty, disease and crime.
Every effort must be made to improve the quality of city life for the many to whom it is a chore. This book demonstrates ways this can be done.
