Asia Pacific cities and regions: consumer spending and office-based employment in 2021 and out to 2035

Asia Pacific and many of its cities are doing much to help lead the global recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. In this webinar we will look to see what that means for consumer spending and office-based employment in the region and its cities. We will ask how those factors may change in 2021 and out to 2035. Where will the spending be concentrated? And on what? Where will the new office jobs be? Will more of the region’s big cities come to challenge the likes of New York, London and Paris? And are there any cities and regions to watch?

We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between APAC, EMEA and the Americas:

  • EMEA – Wednesday 14th July | 10:00 BST
  • Americas – Wednesday 14th July| 16:00 EDT
  • APAC – Wednesday 14th July | 10:00 HKT
