Darren Bates writes about urbanization and the relation that it has with the public goods. In his write up, Bates state that currently, the population of the people living in urban centers is increasing day by day. He also mentions the impact of the urban development;We are at a historic moment in urban development. According to the United Nations, more than half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas. By 2050, that figure will rise to 6.5 billion people — two-thirds of all humanity, 15% with disabilities, making urbanization one of the 21st century’s most trans-formative and challenging trends. In many places, this trend towards rapid urbanization goes hand in hand with the creation of more disparities, inequalities, and discrimination, [...] As such, there is a continued and ever increasing concern of the matter of public goods with the urbanization. Therefore, measure that have to be taken to curb the seriousness of the problems that the public good are experiencing has a lot to do with the idea developed by Mahatma.
