By 2050, it is projected that more than two-thirds, (more than 7 billion) of the global population will either live or work in urban areas. Continued shifts away from rural based work, combined with rising costs of living, has compelled many people to live or work in cities, hereby making urbanisation one of the fastest growing trends of the past century. The substantial increase in urban dwelling populations has further exacerbated existing challenges within urban environments, such as global equality, health, education and not least, sustainability.
These challenges demand a shift in focus and here, the Active Cities Educational Module provides guidance on how sports for All can help us create cities that promote engagement, equality and provide for a sustainable future for citizens and the environment in all areas where living, work and recreation meet.
