Abstract

Predicting the future of the urban world at the beginning of the twenty-first century is as hazardous as it was at the beginning of the nineteenth century, before the advent of motorized transportation and the second urban revolution. The future of urbanization depends on the future of the planet, and that future is more uncertain than it has ever been since the emergence of the very first city. This final chapter offers more questions than answers. Those questions relate to the future of topodynamic corridors, population growth, urban sprawl, urban mobility, large city sizes, sea levels, water shortages, and sun belts, given the smallness of humankind confronted with the huge challenges facing it.

A scattering ellipse represents a spatial distribution by means of an ellipse whose major and minor axes are perpendicular. Its computation is similar to that of the principal components in multivariate analysis. The intersection of the two axes corresponds to the center of gravity of the spatial distribution, and the major axis of a population scattering ellipse corresponds to the direction in which most people are linearly scattered.
