Project description
A closer look at life in the city
More people now live in urban than in rural areas. Over the next three decades, the UN reports that global population growth will likely take place almost exclusively in the cities. If properly managed, urbanisation can be a positive force for the reduction of poverty. This is particularly crucial today when new geographies are being produced with uncertain impacts on urban inequality. In this context, the EU-funded GlobalCORRIDOR project will shed light on how investments worth billions of euros into corridors can be used to transform the urbanisation process. It will also investigate how these processes might reinforce or address urban inequality. The findings will result in a new understanding of urbanisation, infrastructure and inequality.
