“A city always contains more than any inhabitant can know, and a great city always makes the unknown and the possible spurs to the imagination.” – Rebecca Solnit
According to sociologist Gideon Sjoberg (1965), there are three prerequisites for the development of an urban space : First, good environment with fresh water and a favorable climate; second, advanced technology, which will produce a food surplus to support non farmers; and third, strong social organization to ensure social stability and a stable economy.
Urban areas provide numerous opportunities for their residents and offer significant benefits including access to goods and numerous job opportunities. At the same time, high population areas can lead to tensions between demographic groups, as well as environmental strain. While the population of urban dwellers is continuing to rise, sources of social strain are rising along with it. The ultimate challenge for today’s urbanites is finding an equitable way to share the city’s resources while reducing the pollution and energy use that negatively impacts the environment.
