And, where are most megacities located? Well, they're located in India and in China. There's a problem because India and China both suffer from food and water issues. If you are to be resilient, you actually want more food. So, you want to make sure your population, not in cities, but in the countryside, is growing food. Because, first of all, they are self -sufficient. Second of all, you will have a food supply. Unfortunately, right now, China imports a quarter of its food. And, also, remember, food also requires energy to grow, right? So, China imports 75 % of its oil. This brings up the question of how resilient is China. Okay? But, not just China.
