Report of the German Advisory Council on Global Change Humanity on the move:
Unlocking the transformative power of cities
German Advisory Council on Global Change - Summary, 41 pages
- Full text, available from September 2016, c. 500 p.
The momentum of urbanization and its impacts are so
massive that we must face up to this trend. In view of the existing
cognitive, technical, economic and institutional path dependencies, a
policy of business as usual – i.e. an unstructured, quasi-automatic
urbanization – would lead to a non-sustainable ‘world cities society’.
Only if cities and urban societies are sufficiently empowered can they
make use of the opportunities for sustainability and successfully follow
the urban transformation pathways. The success or failure of the Great
Transformation will be decided in the cities. The WBGU discusses the
relevant conditions for the success of this transformation in this
report.
