| London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Mumbai are moving ahead with vast infrastructure projects that fuel new real estate development, while the US rests on the work of its predecessors. This should concern us far more than it does, says Columbia professor Vishaan Chakrabarti, who also heads urban planning firm VCDC.
