By 2050, the United Nations estimates, seven out of 10 Chinese will live in cities. For every 1 percent increase in China's urbanization rate, the country must add some 3 billion to 4 billion square feet of new housing, pump 182 million cubic yards of potable water, generate 640 million kilowatts of energy, and spend some 260 billion to 270 billion yuan (about $35 billion). It will also have to dispose of 1.5 billion cubic yards of wastewater each year.

Dave Young and Antonio Riera, Baltimore Sun, 03 March 2006

In an increasingly integrated world economy, international and domestic policymakers face the perpetual challenge to keep up with economic progress and deliver prosperity. Global prosperity requires cohesion, coherence and connectivity to the real needs, at all levels. It requires better governance. It requires support communities. As an advocate for global prosperity, The Evian Group engages in collective thinking and action across constituencies, regions and generations.
