By next year, more than half the world's population will for the first time in history be living in cities. This milestone in human civilization is being driven mainly by the explosive growth of urban areas in the developing world. We are working on a series about the challenges brought by rapid urbanization and below are some ideas on how you can contribute.
If you or someone you know live in an area that is experiencing high rates of urbanization or if you live in a "Megacity," such as São Paulo, Mexico City or Jakarta, tell us about life there. Or maybe you just happen to be an urban planner and want to share your expertise. We're looking for contributions that range from narrow stories about housing, traffic, waste management, etc, to something broader like a tour of your growing city. Upload a webcam, post a comment or a link. Or, if you're really ambitious, shoot a pod! You can also email me directly at mariana@current.tv. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
