- To understand the problem well enough to build a road to a climate-friendly future, we have to take a different view. This image portrays the shadow world of our cultural, scientific, and policy consciousness. We want so much to live in that green, blue, and white planet: that Eden. But we are creating a very different, emerging natural order of things—the reorganization of Earth into a global city. In fact, it was in the late 1960- early 1970s, when the photo image of Earth from space first became the symbol of the times, that we were building the global city most rapidly. But there is a delay in human consciousness: so I say, “Welcome to the Urban Revolution.”

- For our purposes, the key issue is that this global city is incoherent: it does not yet grow according to a functional logic. This, I argue, is the challenge of our road map—a road that has to be journeyed at many different scales. What do I mean by incoherent? That means the way we design, build, and govern urban growth processes at different scales does not allow us to shape the growth of the global city towards any particular strategic objective, such as ecological sustainability. We lack the practice of growing and managing the city strategically, a topic that I explore at great length in my new book.
