Turning urbanisation challenges into opportunities
Urbanisation, population growth, shifting demographics and climate change are already having a profound effect on the way that people live. By 2020, it is predicted that 56pc of the world’s population will live in urban areas.
By 2045, the urban population is expected to surpass six billion. This presents huge challenges for the construction, manufacturing and technology sectors charged with finding solutions to issues that are set to become ever-more acute in the years ahead.
