Megacities may be congested and complex but they are also among the planet’s most exciting places to live. They have proven effective in stimulating creativity, innovation and economic development; factors that often lead to improved quality of life.
A new report, The Next Age of Megacities takes a closer look at how the largest cities in the world can use ICT to address their evolving challenges in a holistic, proactive and collaborative way, through a city management model.
Last year, Ericsson published a report, The Three Ages of Megacities that looked at how the maturity level of a city can help identify the most appropriate ICT solutions.
Megacities are significant for businesses since they concentrate wealth, income and business opportunities. The trend of global urbanisation is in full swing, with the last 100 years seeing remarkable change in attitudes to city life.
This report offers an overview of the current economic and demographic state and future outlook of the world’s megacities.
Megacities provide some of the world’s most dynamic and stimulating places to live. But they also bring their own specific challenges. The maturity level of a city can help identify the most appropriate ICT solutions.

Cities have long birthed advances in the sciences, arts, human rights, business and government. Millions of people have moved to cities for better lives or services unavailable elsewhere.
But as cities grow, so are problems stemming from stretched transportation, energy and water infrastructure.
Grand Masterplans are great, except that if they're called a "DreamPlan" we are compelled to re-think, and get moving on elsewhere with urgency, to embrace global urbanization at local and community levels. If Metro/Mega Manila fails globally, the whole country will.
Good quality efficient mass public transport accessible to/from affordable homes for the majority is key to pull everybody up, especially the poor and the vulnerable, to upward income mobility. But again we also know that takes time.
So here we are wanting to solve our urban challenges differently by changing mindsets of political/community leaders, planners, developers and yes, ours. We have to bring back Metro Manila as a vibrant, competitive, resilient and healthy megacity and it starts with making communities walkable, bikeable and accessible to all. It's a very good, tried and tested way to re-boot and save the city.
If you live here and choose to rather just complain and say "no" to being shaken off your little comfort zones, the city as you see now is the city you deserve.
Re-consider being inspired by other successful urban cities and let's all help make it work here in Metro Manila.
Oxford "Future of Cities" @ the Harvard GSDNoah Raford
This is a summary of three global scenarios for the future of cities, completed at the University of Oxford’s "Future of Cities" program.
I worked extensively on these scenarios and then presented an early draft of them at the Harvard Graduate School of Design last year.
This presentation is only a draft and may not reflect the final versions of the completed project.
More detail on the project can be found at the official website, here:

This presentation is one of several topics for an Urban Renewal Introductory Course implemented by the Executive Education Program of the Ateneo School of Government, with its tie-up with the DILG -- given to DILG, House of Representatives, and representatives from the various 17 local city governments of Metro Manila assigned to Urban Development and Planning. The end objective is to be able to identify, plan, and implement an Urban Renewal Project in each city, taking into account lessons and principles learned from the overall course.

This is my mega-updated version that we now use with Year 10 pupils studying AQA syllabus B. It links in with p48-51 of the AQA b textbook. It is a great way of getting pupils to show progress and develop their high order thinking skills! It also uses the vision frame exercise from "Representing Geography" to enable students to understand Dharavi.
i would appreciate any feedback that you or your students can give me on this.
Thanks

Many of us live in cities, in sprawling, dense and socially diverse places that are the fabric of our work, families and communities. Within our nations, cities form the urban hub linking us with the rural environments that provide the vital food and water systems on which we depend. Across the world, some 600 cities form the backbone of today’s global economy.
