A small quibble. After that is what i am here for
“That extinction destroyed the dinosaurs but cleared the land for the rise of the mammals â€“ we belong to that class.”

While this was the dominant viewpoint, it appears that the K-T event was not really as much as it is touted to be vis a vis mammalian evolution. More on that Mammal rise not linked to Dinos: BBC

Thanks, Atanu for the excellent series.

I would like to add the importance of sustainability, environmentally and otherwise, of cities too. That is the only way we can scale up and avoid the pitfalls of urban problems that plague our cities today. Unfortunately sustainability is often confused with tree-hugger-ism and discounted in favor of economic growth whereas in fact, both can work hand-in-hand.
