According to this article, “A few years ago a global milestone was reached. More than 50% of the global population now lives in an urban environment. The city has finally become the dominant place to live. Given the changing environment and increasing technology, the city has begun to dramatically change in the past 5-10 years. And it will continue to evolve and change at an increasingly faster pace.”
“…As builders and/or occupants of the environment we are just the current Stewards of the city. The city is a dynamic environment which will continue to evolve overtime based upon its changing needs. We should make sure that when we design and develop the urban environments it is with that long-term sustainability in mind.”
