The Future of Cities: Friends of the Earth position paper
In a Nutshell: Cities are where most people live and where we consume most of the world’s resources. Their impact is felt in every corner of the world. Most cities are heavily polluting and scarred by inequality, but cities have the potential to take the lead and change how we care for people and our planet. To do this well, cities need greater self-determination, deeper democracy and a focus on sharing.
