In the year 2030, 80% of the world’s population will live in cities, presenting us with one of mankind's greatest challenges; planning for future citizens in urban centers experiencing explosive population growth. Cities on Speed takes a closer look at four modern Megacities - Cairo, Bogota, Shanghai and Mumbai - and the social, economic and environmental forces that are threatening them, and others like them, with total collapse.
The Megacity has traditionally been a western construct. Economic and political power centers commanding vast resources and perceived as the pinnacles of industrial growth. Today the fastest growing cities are in developing nations, spawning an acute need for new models of city planning to prevent collapses under the strain of increasing urbanization.
Cities on Speed shows how four different megacities are dealing with these issues. e-Types created the visual identity for the Cities on Speed film series.
