Megacites: Boom or bust?

The future of human habitation lies in cities, but the world’s urban environments are imbalanced at best.

Inequality is a problem at the heart of many of humanity’s most pressing struggles. Our current global system robs society from access to shared natural resources, alienates indigenous communities from the lands they once called home, marginalises minority groups on racial, sexual and ableist lines and ransacks the ecosystems on which the life of the planet depends.
