Popis: We show how, contrary to predications made in the twentieth century, the advances of transportation and information technology have not slowed down the forces of agglomeration. On the contrary, because of the increased human and physical capital accumulation plus the availability of desirable goods and opportunities, city growth has been accelerating. The world is going through a gradual but seemingly unstoppable process of urbanisation.
