The world’s population today is evenly split between cities and rural areas. Developed nations – boasting all the luxuries of modern life – are about three-quarters urban, while nearly half of the population in developing countries lives in densely packed, suffocating city settings. Population continues to rise and mass urban migration dictates that by 2030, 5 billion people will be living in cities; 2 billion of whom will be living in slums, without access to potable water and sanitation infrastructure.
“Forget about Utopia or even the dystopian Los Angeles depicted in Blade Runner,” says Forbes’ Elisabeth Eaves. “The future of the city is a vast Third World slum.”
