<p>I was reading over some earlier replies to this discussion and I ask the same question: If the urban way of life survives, what will we have to fall back on when urban ways of life become dangerous or useless? If nothing is rural, things might not turn out so well in future generations.</p>

<p>Urban Resilience is by definition “capability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from significant multi-hazard threats with minimum damage to public safety and health, the economy, and security" This is saying that we need to learn and think about bad things that could happen and solutions for it and also to think about the problems we have today and how to fix them.</p>

The question of urbanization needs to be looked at in two different ways. In much of the developing world the last thing the planet needs is more people moving into cities that offer nothing but the hope of a better life. Conditions in the countryside may be abominable, poor housing, sanitation and prospects for a better life. Drought and pestilence may have wiped out what meager resorces these folks had.

The question of urbanization needs to be looked at in two different ways. In much of the developing world the last thing the planet needs is more people moving into cities that offer nothing but the hope of a better life. Conditions in the countryside may be abominable, poor housing, sanitation and prospects for a better life. Drought and pestilence may have wiped out what meager resorces these folks had. If these people stay in the countryside their future is nasty, brutish and short.Unable to support themselves these people flock to the cities lookling for non existing employment. In such places urbanization compounds and worsens their plight. In such places the better alternative is to restore a viable and sustainable rural and agrarian way of life and get these people back onto the land where they can sustain themselves. In such regions urbanization is not the right model. in the Western world, however, urbanization, or rather, re-urbanization may actually be a better alternative. In many North American cities, which were previously manufacturing centers, we have seen their populations plummet leaving vaste wastelands of empty lots and derelict buildings and many of the previous inhabitants spread out to suburban regions where they now occupy formerly agricultural lands and use huge energy resources to move about in their private cars. Here we would be better off if we could get these suburbanites to move back into the cities and revitalize them, returning parking lots and sprawl to farming or just reforestation. in other words, whether urban units should flourish or not depends on what part of the world we are dealing with. Lagos and Detroit are two very different worlds.<br />
