“New thinking about cities has led to a paradigm shift in the
way we move forward in the coming decade. While
urbanization was once criticized as being unmanageable and
counter productive, it is now considered a key element in
promoting economic growth, if well managed. In many
countries, cities are leading the way in innovations and
responses to global development challenges, including
climate change, energy efficiency, and economic
development.”
