NOT AN URBAN DESIGN ISSUE

It offers high-density, low-cost living in locations penetrating the city centre, within reach of work by foot or bike… close-knit, self-reliant communities in which ties of family and neighbour are strong.” The Guardian, April 30, 2014
quote is Simon Jenkins on Rio’s favelas

Q2: What are the defining issues for sustainable cities?
• Informality • inclusion
![Page 19: PRESENT and FUTURE CITIES - United Nations · 1 JANICE PERLMAN, Mega-Cities Project ECOSOC – May 29, 2014 . PRESENT and FUTURE CITIES Idas, Innovations, and Shared Solutions](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060304/5f09142d7e708231d425214e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Virtually all population growth thru 2050 will be in cities of the Global South
Rural-urban migration is swelling cities by:
70 million people/year =8 NYCs/year 1.4 million people/week =Milan or Munich
200,000 people a day
![Page 20: PRESENT and FUTURE CITIES - United Nations · 1 JANICE PERLMAN, Mega-Cities Project ECOSOC – May 29, 2014 . PRESENT and FUTURE CITIES Idas, Innovations, and Shared Solutions](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060304/5f09142d7e708231d425214e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
To house this influx we need
35 million units per year
96,150 homes per day
4,000 dwellings per hour
… almost all will be self-built, informal and off the urban service grid.
