Within the next five years, 60% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas. Urban living comes with large-scale economic advantages and society benefits from economies of scale.

#WhatTheySay #PeopleOfKovsies
"May all the first-years not be led by what their eyes can see but be led by the unseen! There's more to what's standing in front of you! Kovsies are known to reach their goals at any cost! To all the first-years... Stay focussed and enjoy studying what you love! Curiosity killed a cat! But we're not cats, so be curious and enjoy the adventure ;)”
