Background: The irretrievable past
“I arrived in the late evening. The city seemed to have no outskirts, the bus emerged all of a sudden out of the dark and empty night into the brightly lit, noisy city center. After getting off the bus, I went for a walk. I reached the edge of Benares. On one side in the darkness, lay the still uninhabited fields, and on the other rose the city, densely peopled, throbbing with loud noise.”
-Ryszard Kapuscinski

The inevitable future
More than half of the world’spopulation live in urban
areas:
• 90% of population growth over the next two decades will take place in developing countries
• 90% of it will take place in urban areas
• 90% of that in peri-urban settlements

Urbanization changes everything
“I've been telling people for 30 years that material changes in our lives are almost irrelevant. The important changes are demographic, in health care and education. The demographic revolution of the last 40 years is unprecedented. Today, the majority of people around the world live in cities. Urbanization changes your worldview. So, the real change is in meaning, not in goods.”
-Peter Drucker. 1998

New urban characteristics
Migration from countryside, rapid population growth:
• 21st Century landscape: – ‘Roadside’ infrastructure– Minimal services,
amenities– Severe environmental
stress– Uncertain or illegal tenure– Lack of recognition by
governments

“Peri-urban development almost always involves wrenching social adjustment as small agricultural communities are forced into an
industrial way of life in a short time. As well, large-scale in-migration of
young people, usually from poor regions, creates enormous demand,
and expectations, for community and social services.”
