Summary:

"For the first time in history, more people live in cities than in rural settlements. Worldwide, the urban population is currently growing by approximately one million people per week. Cities today are not only economic and political centers, but laboratories for democracy, social innovation, and ecological development. How can cities fulfill their diverse functions as sustainably as possible - today, and also in the future? What are the challenges they face with respect to urban transformation? This was the topic of discussion at the second Holcim Forum, which took place at Tongji University in Shanghai, and was attended by more than 250 professionals from over 40 countries - architects, engineers, city planners, scientists, and representatives from business and government."--Page 3.
