U.N. Habitat recently released a report showing that the pace of urbanization is increasing, with “200,000 new dwellers flooding into the world cities and towns each day.” That’s like a new city the size of Seattle, Washington D.C. or Copenhagen springing up every three days. And while it is true that in the Global North, some industrial areas have become home to shrinking cities and others are in line for massive climate troubles, the trends suggest that most cities that are growing today are going to see long sustained booms in population.
