How Can Cities Become Ideal Places?

About 50% of the world’s population now lives in cities, a number projected to reach 70% by 2050. Cities are hubs for ideas, business, culture, science, productivity, and social and economic development, representing the future of human life. With urbanization accelerating, there’s an urgent need for better resource stewardship, environmental protection, and social justice. Sustainable urban development hinges on effective urban planning, transportation, energy, water, waste management, disaster mitigation, education, employment, and governance. How can the concrete jungle become a place where we not just live, but also thrive?
