Cities of the Future
Thu, 01/02/2020 - 12:00
Cities now account for more than half of the world’s population and more than 80% of global GDP. The future of cities is critical to the future of the global economy. Cities around the world have very similar struggles and objectives: ensuring a competitive economy, a sustainable environment, and a high quality of life for their citizens.
Emerging economies have the extra burden of also managing intense urbanisation. There are several external and internal drivers for cities to invest in technology that can make them Cities of the Future.
