SMARTER CITIES, CITY BY CITY
Population growth in cities is increasing at an unprecedented rate. Today, more than half of the world’s population now work or live in urban areas and this figure is expected to grow to 6.4 billion by 2050. Of this increase, more than one third will be from Asian countries, with China and India in the lead, followed closely by Southeast Asia.
The need for effective urban solutions to overcome problems such as environmental pollution, traffic congestion and threats to public safety has never been more real.
