Evolution Of The City After Modernism

"The fact is that traditional, or perhaps we might better say modernist, urbanism is at a dead end. Discussions about American traffic patterns or zoning--even political debates about homelessness and gentrification, or real-estate tax policy--pale into insignificance when we consider the immense expansion of what used to be called cities in the Third World: 'in 2025, ... the number of city-dwellers could reach 5 billion individuals ... of the 33 megalopolises predicted in 2015, 27 will be located in the least developed countries, including 19 in Asia ... Tokyo will be the only rich city to figure in the list of the 10 largest cities'."
