Connecting Global Security Challenges and Urban Issues.
The first part of the workshop introduces the main vulnerabilities to which cities (mainly megacities) are subject.
By the year 2030, five billion of us will live in cities or large urban regions, many of which will be home to more than 10 million inhabitants. Megacities – they are more than just large cities. They create a new urban world which brings together a high concentration of demographic, social, cultural, political, economic and ecological phenomena and shifts. These processes operate with unprecedented levels of complexity in both the generation and resolution of human and urban problems.
The presentation then hopes to inspire a reflection on urban solutions, strategies, approaches which aim to address the above mentioned issues, by shedding light on how the city and the urban community can use its resources to seize social and economic opportunities.
