Some insightful points made about the rapid urbanisation of our planet in this great Ted Talk by Robert Muggah.
In his talk “How to protect fast-growing cities from failing” he explains how its the speed at which cities grow that is important.

He cites cities in the south hemisphere as being vulnerable in the coming decades.
