Thanks for the detail Arun. Since India and China add up to 2.3 bn, and only about a third are urban, I guess you are right that 80% wouldn't be the global urban figure. But you'd agree with the trend over many centuries of increasing urbanisation with rapid acceleration of moves to cities over the 20th century. Sustainability of the process seems no problem at all [which was the original question]. In fact, with improving technology, I think the trend is more "sustainable" now that in the old days. Mqurice
