A vexed enemy of mankind, as people have discovered, is not science, but war since science merely reflects the prevailing social forces. It is found that when there is peace, science is conservative, when there is war, and science is prevented to destructive ends. The weapons which science gives do not necessarily cause war, they make war increasingly terrible. Till now. it has brought us to the doorstep of doom. Our main problem, therefore, is not to curb science, but to stop war – to substitute law for force, international government for anarchy in the relations of one nation with another. That is a job in which everybody must participate including the scientists. But the bombing of Hiroshima suddenly woke us up to the fact that we have very little time. The hour is late, and our work has scarcely begun. Now we are face to face with an urgent question ….. *Can education and tolerance, understanding and creative intelligence run fast enough to keep us abreast with our own mounting capacity to destroy?* This is the questions which we shall have to answer one way or the other in our generation. Science must help us in arriving at the answer, but the main decision lies within ourselves.

If people continue to choose to move from small towns into cities for greater opportunities, cities will have to adapt to the changes in their populations. Cities will need to create more affordable housing for new residents. They are need to build schools for their children so that they will study, and parks so that they will play. Transportation and other services will need to be expanded to accommodate larger numbers of people. If the city meets this challenge, people will be able to move to and from their jobs easily. If it does not, people probably earn less money, as they will only be able to accept work that is close to their homes. As cities expand, new neighbourhoods will being created in areas that are now uninhabited. Areas that were once considered suburban will most probably be swallowed up by urban expansion and become part of the city. As new neighbourhoods are established, new businesses will also open to meet the needs of these new residents. With these new businesses are coming new jobs.
