Our Urban World

Hi!

I don’t actually do much in relation to urban design, traffic engineering, etc…however, I have a massive interest in cities and the people/economics that built them.

Currently 55% of the world’s population live in cities, with this figure expected to grow to 68% by 2050.

This rapid growth brings both potential prosperity, but also challenges to the world’s cities and soon to be cities. Population growth can make cities flourish, but if not managed correctly real-estate prices can skyrocket, infrastructure can crumble and the residents can be stuck in an endless sea of traffic, pollution and crime.

I’ll try and get as close to the truth as possible and research into solutions for problems the cities of today and tomorrow will face!
