And that is going to put huge strains on the planet’s natural resources. It also means the way our cities develop is in need of a massive rethink.

Freiburg in Germany is a model functional eco-city, recognised as Germany's \"Greenest City\", and is imitated all over the world. But Freiburg is not a new city. In the late 1970s, when the German government announced plans for a nuclear power station in the area, its citizens revolted, staging protests and strikes until the plans were defeated.
