"Every year, millions of people around the world are leaving the countryside for cities, hoping to find a better life. But most end up in slums. In fact, the United Nations estimates that by the year 2020, 40% of the population will be slum-dwellers."
The urban environmental consequences of this will be momentous, not to be mention the social, ethical, public health, and other issues.
