4. Hitting the Urbanization “Sweet Spot” “Opportunities in an Urbanizing World” – Credit Suisse (2012): Per capita GDP generally superior in urban areas; Emerging economies exhibit superior urban vs. rural per capital GDP growth rates; Rapid urbanization associated with swift economic expansion; and There is an urbanization sweet spot (30-50% population urbanization range) accompanied by peak per capital GDP growth

5. Right to the City – David Harvey “The question of what kind of city we want cannot be divorced from that of what kind of social ties, relationship to nature, lifestyles, technologies and aesthetic values we desire. The right to the city is far more than the individual liberty to access urban resources: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city. It is, moreover, a common rather than an individual right since this transformation inevitably depends upon the exercise of a collective power to reshape the processes of urbanization. The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is, I want to argue, one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights.”
