      Futures of Urban Living and Construction 2040

      Which change factors could revolutionise cities by 2040?

      buildingAlmost 70% of the global population will be urbanites in 2050, which means growing cities and a massive re-ordering of local infrastructures. All this requires a considerable number of natural resources, financial investments, and most of all, future-fit decisions.  

      Our research report Futures of Urban Living and Construction 2040 features the summarised results of an extensive foresight study exploring what construction, city planning, housing, real estate and urban development may look like by 2040. 

       

      Conducted in collaboration with Futures Platform's team of futurists and a panel of 22 industry experts from various public and private organisations, the research identifies 10 change drivers and 42 key phenomena shaping futures of cities. 

      With this research, we aim to support industry actors in finding new perspectives, mapping strategic opportunities and threats, and directing their activities towards preferred futures.
