Transportation distances get cut and it is possible to have more effecient houseing solutions with in regard to the amount of building material used. How do you mean that urbanization will lead to increased energy use?Regardless, these maps are very interesting. I am curious as to how they were made.

But, jocularity aside, these are quite scary. Urbanization looks to be a major problem for the future, which will lead to greater consumption of our scant resources. And poor old India looking fat and fit to explode and spew people everywhere because of over-population…

Yes, scary reminders of just what a precarious position the human race finds itself in today.
