I got into a little tangent on city demographics today.

So some megacities:

Karachi

Lagos

Shanghai

All these cities dwarf every city in the US in population.

Zmoves are special moves pokemon can do when holding a z crystal and other special conditions are met. They are super combo moves you can do once per battle I believe. Also your trainer does a funny dance.

Coworker is going to be alone on christmas and is sad about it. My attempts to make her happier have failed, so instead I'm going to pretend she doesn't exist. I call it the Trump maneuver.

Pakistan isn't a huge country in population size overall. Especially compared to its neighbors. But it has two of the most populated "proper" cities in the world. That was fun to learn today.

During the Empire, Rome had a population high of 1.6 Million

By the time of the fall of the west, it was less than 500,000

Within a century of that it was maybe 50,000, despite reconquest into the Byzantine Empire. It was not until the 1940s that Rome reached its Imperial highpoint once again.

The last two days the Coast Guard captain has stopped by my cube area to see if people were really here.

Most of the office is gone though.

Even though I am not a huge fan of cities the action and demography of urbanization does interest me. There are all sorts of cycles with it but overall through history, especially the 20th and 21st centuries, a real push on a population level to increase urbanization.

Of course the base economic reasons are pretty obvious. Centralization of production and so on.

But then when you think about it, a lot of modern urbanization was about the industrial revolution and industrial work. As we move towards automation and needing fewer people to keep a city running will there be a possible reversing of the current course? As there will be less need for the centralization of a work force as a major driver for populations collecting into a single space.

Isn't Los Angeles a mega city at this point? Or are we not dense enough.

YamiNoSenshi · December 2016

I think a french silk pie will be a good third option to cannoli and pumpkin pie. Maybe some cookies as well? Cookies are easy.

I just read the other day that the trend is projected to continue

I guess today about half of the world's population lives in cities -- projected to increase to 70% by 2050

I wonder if that's the case in more developed countries though
