A new World Order of sprawling cities? For most people, during most of history, life was the tribe, village or field, the city was exotic and unfamiliar, if not altogether alien. As recently as 1800, just 3% of the worlds population lived in cities. Then the industrial revolution happened. Today, most authorities reckon that 53% of the worlds population are crammed into roughly 3% of the worlds surface. By 2030, the UN predicts, 60% of the worlds population will live in a city. By 2050, itll be 70%. ~ M citymetric/politics/urban-revolution
