Planning for Future Urban Development - Not Just Catching Up - Peter Nelson - Bog

With a current global population approaching 7 billion predicted to reach 15 billion within 100 years, living space within urban development will be at a premium. At present governments find it hard to provide sufficient funds to meet infrastructure requirements so it becomes a never ending struggle to just catch up. If humanity is to survive on a livable planet within a predicted changing climate, it would appear necessary to start looking at and designing what will be required in future years and working backward. That is what this text aims to suggest along with the rationale and for doing so and how this might be achieved.
