Abstract

More than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas today. Cities continue to attract an increasing number of people seeking jobs and improvement in their quality of life. By 2050, two-thirds of the world’s population will be living in urban areas. While most of the great challenges of our time arise in cities, cities also hold some of the solutions. It is therefore essential to include cities in our efforts to respond to growing inequalities, poverty and discrimination, environmental degradation, unsustainable use of water and energy, and increased risks of natural or man-made disasters. Indeed, cities are often seen as economic growth centers offering opportunities for education, innovation, and employment; they are centers of economic activity that attract a wide range of people, including national or international migrants. This is particularly true for metropolitan areas characterized by a high concentration of economic activity, employment, and prosperity.
