(Phys.org)—A massive study headed by Christopher Kennedy an engineer at the University of Toronto has revealed some of the ways energy and resources are used by the world's megacities, which the authors describe as urban areas that have more than 20 million people in them. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Kennedy and his team of researchers from institutions across the globe, describe differences in resource use and efficiencies and how what they have revealed might be used to help better plan city growth in the future.
