Very interesting. Some environmental predictions regarding urbanization in Africa. As a nation's system of cities grows, its per-capita carbon footprint grows (because incomes rise) and its resilience to disaster shocks increases. Urbanization facilitates adaptation (1/2)
For 18 months all @OliverJHarman had to offer when discussing migration was fact 1⃣, now after reading this @wb_research report posted by @CitiesAlliance he has a few more... 1⃣1⃣Africa’s urban population growth is 🔼driven by natural population growth, not rural-urban migration
This is incredible. World Bank comparison of how much a worker making $1,000 in Soweto keeps after taxes and transport costs vs a similar worker in Vietnam. A damning indictment of both apartheid's spatial legacy and subsequent failures to expand public transport.
