We can only achieve a better future if all of us live sustainably. Some of the major challenges that the world is faced with today would have been delayed or avoided altogether if everyone made it their business to sustain the environment we live in for a better future. Natural resources are essential to human business, activities, and survival. A lack of sustainability can lead to natural resource exhaustion.

Every individual has a responsibility to ensure that future generations find this planet in better shape than it is today.

In the past two episodes of “Powering Good with Hitachi Vantara”, we discussed some of the megatrends affecting our environment. In this third episode of the six-part podcast series, we are discussing rapid urbanisation as a megatrend. Dalin Oliver continues this important chat with the country manager and sales director at Hitachi Vantara, Dennis Naidoo.

The duo highlights how rapid urbanisation is impacting the environment as a result of overcrowding. According to Dennis, 63% of people in South Africa live in urban areas and it is predicted that by 2030 it will be around 71% while in 2050, 8 in 10 people will be living in urban areas. Dennis said this will increase demand for basic infrastructure requirements.

As a result, they called upon each one of us as well as both the public and private sectors to get involved.
