Africa

  If you can gain access to this article please do. It is mind blowing. This is way way beyond any sense of a dystopian nightmare that you've ever seen in an apocalyptic movie. We're talking about cities that will have populations around 100,000,000 people by the end of this century and that is just this century. We're talking about cities where present physical deterioration is beyond our worst ghettos. Humanity is in trouble.

 Washington Post: Africa’s rising cities How Africa will become the center of the world’s urban future By Max Bearak, Dylan Moriarty and Júlia Ledur
