Megacities

I’m definitely not a ‘country mouse’ but I grew up in a fairly tranquil town. I went to University in a city called Exeter. It is perhaps one of the smallest in the UK, surrounded by green hills and home to only 100,000 people.

Recently I have moved to a “megacity” called Guangzhou. Guangzhou is an area of South China that is home to an unbelievable number of people – at least 50 million people. As these cities expand they are bleeding into each other, and will eventually be part of a sprawling metropolis that also includes Hong Kong and Macau.

As farming becomes more efficient and less people are needed in agriculture, this urbanisation is the story all over the world. Recently, it was revealed that for the first time in history, more people live in cities than live in the countryside. Although they cover only 3% of the world’s surface, 51% of the world’s population now lives in urban areas. It is predicted that by 2050, 75% of the world’s population will live in the city.

Humans' migration and the effect it is having on our planet are inevitable, so much so that academics believe we have entered a new geological age. It’s called the Anthropogenic: the Age of Man. We are in a time when the biggest changes to the planet are not created by nature, but by human beings.
