It
cannot escape one’s attention that currently there are several cases of urban
revolt taking place in a good number of countries. Each one of these mass
movements have their own specific causes. But I think there are a few common
features. They are related to the stress of leaving in megacities with poor
infrastructure and high cost of living, housing challenges, youth unemployment,
job insecurity, and the disparity of living standards one can find in every big
city. Inequality and a strong feeling of social injustice combined with scot-free
corruption by the elites lead to mass demonstrations, including the destruction
of symbols of power.
