Why urban development matters

Urban development policies and infrastructure projects directly impact the livability, productivity, and resilience of cities, shaping the daily lives of 4.4 billion people.

Nearly 60% of the urban areas expected by 2030 have yet to be built, with much of this growth concentrated in emerging markets. (1) Estimates suggest that USD 97 billion in infrastructure investment will be needed by 2040 just to keep pace with demographic and economic shifts. (2).

Despite generating over 80% of global GDP (3), many cities, especially in developing countries, struggle with technical and investment gaps that hinder the delivery of effective policies and projects.

Urban development is critical for governments seeking financing to implement plans, investors looking for bankable projects, and billions of people striving for better places to live, work, and thrive.
