Where in the world is urban growth mainly outward onto new land? Where is it mostly upward in the form of taller buildings?
These questions (and others) are tackled in a unique way by the important World Resources Institute (WRI) working paper, “Upward and Outward Growth: Managing Urban Expansion for More Equitable Cities in the Global South”.
