Urbanism, globalisation and Saskia Sassen
by possibly noteworthy at 6:51 am EST, Nov 5, 2007

At 35% urbanization, Pakistan is the most urbanized country in South Asia. 50% urbanization is predicted in the next ten years. The Powers That Be and our city fathers have yet to see urban planning as anything other than a commercialization and moneymaking racket. We need to understand the invisible global networks to which we belong and the invisible global forces to which we are liable. Only then will we have an opportunity to face the challenges of the future. Lucky for us, Saskia Sassen is speaking at the National College of Arts in Lahore this Tuesday morning.
