The Growth of Large Cities Is a Remarkable Demographic Story.

The growth of large cities and metropolitan areas has been one of the most remarkable demographic stories of past decades. The map depicts the 30 largest metropolitan area in 2011 with the circles proportional to their population size. Cities of 10 million or more are often referred to as mega-cities. In 1950, 117 million people lived in the top 30 metros but that number rose to 426 million by 2011. In 1950, 19 of the top 30 cities were in industrialized countries. By 2011, that number had shrunk to eight. In 1950, Delhi was not even in the top 30 but it is now second behind only Tokyo. Such phenomenal growth is usually due to rural-urban migration as migrants seek a better life in cities.

For people interested in renovating their own homes, Materjalid.net is perfect. Once they have attended the lecture on sustainable renovation techniques or bought a used component, they will probably be involved with sustainable thinking for the rest of their lives. Typical users of the project are young families, renovating their apartments themselves in a district of old wooden houses, and want to do it cheaply, stylishly and with originality.

Camilla orders on the farm website, and the farmers prepare a box with the vegetables and fruits that she asks for.

Weekly, one of the farmers travels with a little truck around the city to deliver the boxes for the clients.

If she is not home, the box is left in front of her apartment.

Harri is an administrator who deals with the logistics of getting waste materials from companies. He sees a need for innovative equipment and tools in the recycling of glass and metal; he is looking for designers and artists to collaborate with in making high quality products from these materials to be sold.

Ramin likes working here because it is a great atmosphere, he can do what he likes, he gets to learn about recycling, he meets many people and is relearning a rhythm in life. Al-Mussawi Haidar says he loves working here because it is like a big family.

Everyone in the community has similar problems and outlook and everybody has the will to help and care. Most of the members are welleducated women who have worked as specialists and scientists. Together they have Christmas, birthdays or other celebrations: the attitude is to get over personal problems and give happiness to others.

There are many things in life that we do not think about. But these things may mean very much to someone. These things can be like the meaning of life. It was a lovely surprise for us to see old people with a smile in their eyes and positive attitude. The view from a designer there are many aspects in life that we do not think about. Design is not just making life more beautiful design also includes social, articial and cultural tasks. The main task for the designer is to ask himself is there any way I can help someone?
