Global population growth will be concentrated in poor cities

Megacities account for smaller but fastest growing proportion of total urban population

urban growth will vastly outpace population change as driver of urbanisation

83% of governments reported concerns about patterns of population distribution. 72% developing countries have policies to reduce migration to large cities

New awareness of impact of natural hazards on cities People living in urban coastal flood zones in 2060

Vulnerability of new urban residents varies widely

What contribution can academic research make?

RGS Field Research Programme: ‘Migrants on the Margins’

Focus on ‘marginalised urban areas’

Plans for continuous outreach
