In 2008, for the first time in history more than half of the world population
lived in cities. The most populous 600 cities in the world are home to 25%
of the worlds population and produce around 60% of global GDP...
By 2030, only 17 years from now, it is estimated that 5 billion people or 80%
of humanity will be urbanised. It is little wonder then that the current era
has been called the Triumph of the City
