The title right now is:
>Researchers contest widely-accepted United Nations' predictions on urban population growth
Which is a pretty good description. About an hour ago, the title was:
>‘Everything we’ve heard about global urbanization turns out to be wrong’ - researchers
Which is ridiculous clickbait. Since your post is only a few minutes old, you're probably commenting on the new title, whereas others are commenting on the old title.
- vanderZwan 8y agoThank you for clarifying. EDIT: even so, it's still a direct quote of one of the researchers, and indicated as such in the title. Clickbaity, but not misleading. Plus, adding up all the issues raised about how urbanization has been measured so far, all the in which ways politics muddles up the data, and the resulting gigantic error in measurement together, the problem does seem so fundamental that I don't find the quote that overblown either.
