Migration to Cities Drains Resouses

By Jacob Langvad Nilsson (email) — October 1st, 2010

But every city has its limitation; it has its own saturation point and if exceeded, a city might falter while providing basic facilities to its residents. As modern mega-cities are now choking with the pressure of ever growing population, scientists fear that in near future these cities might have to face an acute food and water crisis.

Book Preview: The Brazilian Dream

By Jacob Langvad Nilsson (email) — July 30th, 2010

Over the last six months I’ve been traveling throughout Brazil to photograph Brazilian youth for a new, upcoming book. ‘The Brazilian Dream’ is a portrayal of the rising new generation Brazilians, with focus on their dreams and desires. We’ve made a huge, qualitative research in four Brazilian cities; São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Porto Alegre. The final report will include 25 case studies of ‘transformers’ – young people from all social groups, who are working passionately to improve their country. The research is made by BOX1824, and the report will later be part of a bigger, more extensive research on youth culture and consumer behavior across the Emerging Markets called The BRIC Project.

Rigamarole is a newsmagazine published by and for the world’s third-largest offshore drilling firm, Diamond Offshore. The stories in Rigamarole encompass everything from leading edge drilling technology to interviews with industry titans to workers’ personal ruminations.
