Why  Ci'es?  Why  Now?    Dr  Tim  Jones  –  Programme  Director  –  19  July  2011  

By  2020  75%  of  us  will  live  in  urban  environments    and  these  will  increasingly  be  dense  ci'es  –  more  like    

Paris  and  Hong  Kong  than  LA  or  Mexico  City.    

Global  Urbaniza'on     Why  Ci'es?  Why  Now?  

By  2015,  32  people  an  hour  will  be  moving  into  Shanghai,    39  into  Kinshasa  and  Jakarta,  42  into  Mumbai  and  Karachi,  50  into  

Dhaka  and  58  into  Lagos.    

Developing  World  Mobility   Why  Ci'es?  Why  Now?  

Mega-­‐ci'es  will  increasingly  compete  with  each  other  for  talent  and  resources  as  innova'on  and  economic  growth  con'nues  to  be  

driven  by  urban  environments  

Growth  Engines   Why  Ci'es?  Why  Now?  

City-­‐to-­‐city  transfer  of  the  best  answers  will  increase  in  speed  and  volume  as  successful  new  solu'ons  to  emerging  challenges  are  

quickly  developed  and  shared.    

Fast  Transfer   Why  Ci'es?  Why  Now?  

Mayors  will  increasingly  be  able  to  lead  change  faster  than  presidents:  The  C40  group  of  mega-­‐ci'es  may  be  more  influen'al  

than  the  G20  group  of  governments.  

Ci'es  not  Countries   Why  Ci'es?  Why  Now?  

The  gap  between  urban  rich  and  poor  is  increasing:  20%  of  all  urban  housing  are  temporary  structures  and  1/3  of  the  world’s  popula'on  

already  live  in  slums.    

Unplanned  Ci'es   Why  Ci'es?  Why  Now?  

Midi-­‐city  clusters  will  be  of  growing  significance  with  400  middleweight  ci'es  in  emerging  markets  genera'ng  

 40%  of  global  growth  in  the  next  15  years.  

Midi  City  Clusters   Why  Ci'es?  Why  Now?  

More  and  more  companies  are  planning  to  focus  on  groups  of  ci'es  as  their  primary  markets  rather  than  countries  and  so  develop  more  

urban-­‐only  products  and  services.    

Urban  Markets   Why  Ci'es?  Why  Now?  

Three  ques'ons  

Ques'ons   Why  Ci'es?  Why  Now?  

How  will  more  urbaniza/on  influence  your  global  /  country  supply  chains?  

Who  will  be  the  retail  partners  that  can  best  access  the  unplanned  city?  

What  new  products  will  be  needed  exclusively  for  the  urban  consumer?  

The  Future  Agenda  is  the  world’s  largest  open  foresight  programme  that  ran  throughout  2010  and  engaged  expert  input  from  over    

1500  organiza'ons  to  gain  a  unique  global  view
