Another link from Foreign Policy magazine - this one a quick slide show giving a good glance at coming urban trends in both China and India. Some quick bits:
- For the next twenty years, China will be adding new urban space at the rate of one New York City every two years.
- China will be adding 400 million people (more than the current population of the US) to its cities by the year 2030.
- The urbanization will be fueled mainly by coal - China is on track to double its CO2 emissions in the coming two decades.
