As of 2006, more than 50% of the world's population lives in cities and by the end of this century, 80-85% will live in cities and 90% of all economic transactions will take place in cities.

Africa, a continent with about 1.25 billion people today, will grow to nearly 4 billion by the end of this century, and Germany will have about 100 million people by 2060. Our systems are in danger of breaking down; we need new answers,
