With 2.5 billion more people expected to live in cities by 2050, governments worldwide are seeking city-level solutions for city-level problems. Governments are turning to smart city initiatives to address a convergence of socioeconomic, resiliency, and citizen engagement pressures. Post-pandemic city revival initiatives are percolating far and wide. While they were once concentrated in mega cities, the greatest opportunities are now in smaller Tier II cities, which face pressing urbanization challenges but have only recently begun to embrace digital solutions.
The initial hype surrounding smart cities is transitioning into a broader discussion of technology-centric approaches that can help cities become more resilient in the post-pandemic era.
This study primarily focuses on three themes (resilience, quality of life, and productivity) that will serve as the foundation for future cities. Trends within each theme are anticipated to shape the purpose, design, and living environment of cities of the future. These trends will be examined in more detail.
Key Issues Addressed
- How will cities evolve over the next 10 years?
- What themes will constitute future cities?
- What role do smart city technologies and trends play in future cities?
- What growth opportunities are emerging?
