One of many iconic developments of the 21st century is the increase of cities: by 2050, the number of citizens living in urban areas is expected to exceed 75 per cent-up from 53 per cent today.

They describe five key aspects of urban life that must be cautiously considered if folks are to boom in the planet 's cities.

They argue, this framework will allow for comparisons between the cities in the world's -and targeted responses.
