Over 55% (4,2 billion) of the world’s population lives in cities. This trend should continue. At the end of 2050, 7 out of 10 people will live in cities, more than doubling the urban population.

More than 80% of the world’s GDP is created in cities. Therefore urbanization may help sustainable growth by boosting productivity and stimulating innovation.

The speed and extent of urbanization offer issues, such as providing affordable housing, well-connected transit systems, basic services, and jobs, especially for the roughly one billion urban poor who live in informal settlements to be close to opportunities. Due to growing hostilities, 60% of forcibly displaced people live in cities.

Once a city is built, its shape and land usage patterns may be established for decades, causing sprawl. Urban land consumption growth is expected to outpace population growth by 50%, resulting in 1.2 million km2 of the new urban built-up area during the next three decades. This sprawl stresses land and natural resources, leading to undesirable effects; cities consume two-thirds of the world’s energy and produce 70% of greenhouse gas emissions.

Cities’ sensitivity to climate and disaster risk increases as their populations grow. Nearly 500 million people live in coastal areas, making them vulnerable to storm surges and rising sea levels. In the 136 major coastal cities, coastal flooding threatens 100 million people and $4.7 trillion in assets. Ninety percent of urban expansion in emerging nations is informal and unplanned.

During normal times, cities may aim to compete and excel on many criteria, such as liveability, competitiveness, and ecology, but on any given day and especially during a crisis, a city must work properly for its residents.
