Urban and Regional Planning
The City of 5 Million
Worldwide, the number of cities with a population of over five million is steadily increasing. What is life like for the inhabitants of these megacities? How do people cater for their daily needs? Such cities are almost impossible for the state and official authorities to govern. To compensate for this, forms of self-organisation arise to enable life to continue in such tightly packed communities. Taking Delhi, Dhaka and the Pearl River Delta as examples, Frauke Kraas takes a first-hand look at living conditions in megacities.
