Une mort suspecte en Bretagne ! C'est décidé. Cela se passerait au bout du promontoire, face à la mer. Le fauteuil roulant se mettrait à descendre la pente lentement, très lentement. Quand les roues auraient effectué un tour complet, alors le paysage commencerait à basculer. Il y aurait des grincements et des éclatements, des ressorts qui tressautent, une armature qui se démantèle, et les cris de l'infirme arrimée à son siège par les courroies de maintien. Des cahots brutaux ébranleraient le véhicule. Tanguant, oscillant, il ne verserait pas mais foncerait au contraire tout droit vers l'à-pic. Il atteindrait le bord du précipice, rebondirait et disparaîtrait dans le vide. O...

Caring about others and the future is part of what makes us human, and it can be argued that improving the lives of people with disabilities improves the lives of all human beings. Most of what we do as a society for people with disabilities also improves life for others, and if we consider a person’s entire life, a disability of some kind will affect almost everybody at some point.

There are currently over eight billion people on Earth: how did we arrive at the current distribution of humans on the planet? What shape is it taking, and how will it evolve? This book proposes an original answer to this, which is based on the explicit desire to place settlement at the heart of its questioning, by varying the level of analysis from global to local. After recalling how humans colonized the entire planet, this book presents their current distribution, which is predominantly urban. Population dynamics (birth rate, death rate and migration) are driving changes – including the demographic decline of certain regions – which are presented and explained from the angle of residential mobility and international migration, as well as the impact of ongoing climate change. Global Settlement Dynamics concludes with a discussion of the future of these settlements, based on data from the United Nations, and the question of the sustainability of human settlements on Earth.
