Urban Migration is Surging. Can Smart Cities Meet the Challenge?

'Globally we are adding about 3 million people to urban areas each week. Over the course of the year, this number can be equated to roughly 50 Chicagos. This influx of people could make everyday life in urban areas more chaotic than ever. We will need a new playbook for how cities can better handle this massive influx of people. With such population surges, we can use citizen-centric data—computational power—to make the infrastructure of cities run smoother and more efficiently.' -- Big Think
