Global Cities is an exhibition at the Tate Modern that focuses on the explosive growth of cities around the world. It is on display from June 20 to August 27, 2007. This article on the Global Cities exhibition from the Telegraph includes a slide show of work on display.
Quoted from Telegraph UK: The 10 global cities featured in Tate Modern’s new show of the same name, among them Cairo, Shanghai, Istanbul, Mexico City and London, are, mostly, megalopolises that have experienced huge population and spatial growth over the past 20 years because of changes in the world economy. They reveal the seemingly unstoppable rise of urbanism: by 2030, two thirds of the world’s population will live in cities, as compared with just 25 per cent a century ago.
