Young men in megacities are a specific breed of being: populous, but also very much endangered. They die in motorcycle accidents, violent crimes and acts of revenge. Robert Muggah, an American expert in issues of migration, development and security based at the Igarapé Institute, spent 20 years analysing the lives of huge, fast-growing metropolises in South America. The average forecast for the lifespan of men is much shorter than that of women. Every year, violence kills over 500,000 people on Planet Earth. Shockingly, only 10% of these deaths are in areas of military conflict. Far more die in megacities. And yet, Muggah stresses that urban areas represent the most effective antidote to radicalization and nationalism. This is illustrated in developed regions, where urbanization has led to less dangerous living conditions. We have never lived in a world that is this safe. According to Muggah, this is also because it is not cities that declare wars on each other. Quite the opposite. They are areas where people tend to practise a peaceful form of co-existence. In a city, you buy, travel, work and pray every day alongside someone who really is an Other. Together, without open conflicts, we co-create centres of peace and wellbeing.
