Sample Case/Data 5

Rapid urbanisation is arguably the most complex and important socio-economic
phenomenon of the 20th and 21st centuries. Generally understood as a shift from a
predominantly rural to a predominantly urban society, it also represents major and
irreversible changes in production and consumption and the way people interact with
nature. It is therefore somehow surprising that, within the international debate, it is only
recently that cities and the urbanisation process started to be looked at through a
‘sustainability’ lens.
