Urbanisation is traditionally seen as a disaster for SD. Unplanned urban expansion causes diverse environmental and social problems which previously did not exist -and the problems are exacerbated due to their ability to spread quickly or just become more significant due to the numbers of those affected.
But, maybe urbanisation can be an opportunity? It is easy to reach out, within a city, to those in need, quickly. It should be easier to plan and control development. It should be easier to solve problems in an urban environment. Evidently it is not, and there needs to be more work at a city and government level to see urbanisation as an SD solution and to plan it thus.
