Before their 80th birthday, a child born in 1920 would have seen the world’s population triple, from less than 2 billion to more than 6 billion, while global wealth, and waste, increased more than 40-fold. This massive increase in wealth and waste picked up speed as the Great Acceleration started in earnest around 1950. Canada’s cities contributed more to this overall increase in wealth and waste than cities in any other country.
