Each generation faces unique challenges:

“New thinking about cities has led to a paradigm shift in the way we move forward in the coming decade. While urbanization was once criticized as being unmanageable and counter productive, it is now considered a key element in promoting economic growth, if well managed. In many countries, cities are leading the way in innovations and responses to global development challenges, including climate change, energy efficiency, and economic development.”
