Migration patterns are changing the populations of both Northern and Southern cities. ICT has facilitated global communication, but at the same time it seems that there is less mutual understanding around the globe. The different crises (e.g. the financial crisis, the climatic crisis, the food crisis, the energy crisis) that have broken out these past few years, are yet another reminder that the North-South divide is increasingly irrelevant, also for the development sector. What happens in the North has an impact on what plays out ‘there’ and vice versa.These developments have a fund...
