"More than half the world鈥檚 population now lives in an urban area, and 75 percent will call a city home by 2050," claims . "But while some cities are experiencing explosive growth, others are shrinking. The challenges of balancing housing, mobility, public space, civic engagement, economic development and environmental policy are fast becoming universal concerns. Yet much of the dialogue on these issues is disconnected from the public domain."
