Theme: Urbanisation
Starting with the end of the last glacial period, human societies have developed to more and more complex systems. Hand in hand with this development human settlements have grown from small, temporary villages to cities and the metropoles of our time. While cities can provide a highly efficient and productive environment for human cooperation, making their success the basis of ongoing urbanisation, they are related with numerous challenges, too.
