Half of humanity now lives in cities, which will be 60% by 2030 – 90% of future growth will take place in cities

Rapidly growing Indian cities will be home to nearly 40% of Indians by 2021 (UN Habitat 2008).

Greenpeace report predicts climate change impacts will force major population movements from coastal cities to inland already over burdened cities (125 million people by 2050).
