Report Outlook

Urbanization is the path that lies ahead. Currently, our planet is home to roughly 8 billion individuals. However, projections indicate that by 2050, the global population will soar to nine billion, with a staggering 70 percent residing in urban areas. As we move forward, cities will absorb 90 percent of population growth, they will be responsible for 80 percent of enhanced prosperity, but also for approximately 75 percent of energy consumption and they emit about 60 per cent of the world’s total greenhouse gases. These urban conurbations will assume pivotal roles as hubs of political, economic, and cultural activities. They will serve as living testaments of the future, shaping the lifestyles and work environments for generations to come.
