The Future of Cities | LIVE STREAM |
|
The world is urbanizing, but the nature of urban areas is changing due to demographics, migration, and economic growth. Global cities have typically been seen as centers of opportunity vis-à-vis outlying, depopulating rural areas, but what do we do when urban areas become centers of inequality themselves, beset with a host of social and economic dysfunctions? How will these problems affect the important role cities play in the global political economy?
Please join Ryan Streeter in this discussion with experts on urban areas from multiple continents as they consider what the changing face of urbanization around the world means for the global economy.
