Global Cities: Searching for growth opportunities in an uncertain future

As the world emerges from recent economic turbulence, the next few years will see a pick-up in growth for cities around the world. However, with opportunity comes uncertainty, and the outlook is perhaps the most uncertain it has been for years. What does the future hold for the world’s most important cities?

In this webinar, we will discuss the key trends shaping the economic outlook for cities, including technological advancements, shifting global trade dynamics, and the impact of environmental and geopolitical challenges.

This webinar is now on-demand and is on our new webinar platform, ON24. After registering, if you haven’t received a confirmation email, please check your spam/junk folders.
