Today, around two-thirds of the world’s population lives in cities. At the beginning of the 20th century, the corresponding figure was just 10%. In just over a hundred years, humanity’s way of life has undergone dramatic changes – a large majority of us have become urban dwellers. This book is about the cities of the future and the opportunities – and dangers – of a world where cities continue to expand. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCities have the power to make the world a better place if they develop correctly. If cities, on the other hand, continue to grow without deliberation, it is a ‘sure road to hell’. Whatever scenarios we think are most likely, one thing is clear: if we are to solve the problems of the future, we must solve them in the biggest cities. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the translation from Norwegian into English, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMegalopolis\u003c\/em\u003e, and its journey around the world in search of urban answers to the challenges of the future is\u003cspan\u003e now available to even more people. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003ePeter Butenschøn is a Norwegian \u003cspan\u003ecity planner and urban designer\u003c\/span\u003e, and architectural writer and critic.
