A report last week from the Institute of Mechanical Engineers estimated that by 2075 the Population will have risen from 6.9 Billion to 9.5 Billion. Unless drastic changes are made and resource management for cities better organised it is said we are facing a population disaster of epic scale. Climate change will add to the woes as up to 1 billion people will move from inhospitable or jobless areas to cities thus increasing the resources a city will need.
The report called 'One Planet, Too Many People' hopes that engineering initiatives in the future will avert disaster by reducing energy usage, improving storage and extracting water from underground as well as civil engineering improvements etc.
But will all this stop people having children? I think not.
