Half of humanity now lives in cities, and within two decades, nearly 60 per cent of the world’s people will be urban dwellers. Urban growth is most rapid in the developing world, where cities gain an average of 5 million residents every month. As cities grow in size and population, harmony among the spatial, social and environmental aspects of a city and between their inhabitants becomes of paramount importance. This harmony hinges on two key pillars: equity and sustainability. Other titles in the State of the World's Cities Series:

| This is a very informative report. looking at growth of our cities(third world countries) somehow harmony is lost because there are high levels of inequality. such reports are very valuable in trying to correct such challenges and also to see where development is lacking to be able to try and reduce uneven development. |

| This is an important referfence material. If we do not have access to this kind of publication we remain blind to the dangers associated with urban explosion while poverty of ideas about approcah to effective urban governance multiplies. |

| The report realy urges to find new way that makes human beengs to addapt the natural system rather than making the natural system to fit for unlimited interest of human beeings. I have one solution for developing countries to create responsive street design that my reduce some crisis on the report. how can i get the opportunity!? |

| It is realy working publication. But we need leaders who have both ears to listen and eye to see for the applications of the publications.
The difficulty is when it comes to the developing countries. |

| A correction in your text: half of humanity now lives in urban areas, not necessarily in cities.
I am going to read the report with interest. I am sure it is a very good and important product, like all the previous ones |
