What will happen to the world and its future if oil runs dry? The catastrophe is imminent, and the era of cheap energy is nearing its end. Amid frantic efforts to find alternative energy sources, the question remains: Can civilization continue as it is, fundamentally dependent on oil and gas? The world is on the brink of a challenging transformation, and this change might be permanent! How will international relations shift, is the escalation of wars unavoidable, how rapidly will urban life evolve, and what does this mean for our cities? This book explores the outcomes for general and private conditions, the downfall of economic and social systems, and the political, military, and geographical implications, as well as the impact on each of our lives. It offers a logical and objective vision of practical steps that individuals, communities, and countries can adopt and follow to adapt to a forthcoming new world and to mitigate its adverse effects on both the economic and social aspects of urban life. The choice is difficult, but facing the challenge is inevitable.
