Abstract: Urbanization is a natural process, resulting in an ever-increasing number of mega sites worldwide. The rate of urbanization has increased from under 30% in 1950 to over 54% in 2014 (UN, 2014). It has been estimated by the United Nations that about 80% of the global population will be living in cities by 2050. Exploding mega cities bring challenges for city planners and local governments.
