Cities have to face serious sustainablity
challenges
Demographic change
Until 2030, 90% of the world's
population growth will occur in
cities (Source: UN)
Urbanization
Mid-2007, 50% of the world
population will be living in cities
Growing demand for
health- and elder care
Increasing mobility
Urban air pollution causes an
estimated 130,000 premature
deaths each year in developing
countries (Source: WHO)
Traffic congestion on city streets
in Western Europe will increase
188% by 2010
Increasing scarcity
of natural resources
Cities directly or indirectly
account for 60% of world's water
use

Growing need for
environmental care
Cities account for 80% of the
world’s greenhouse gases, while
covering only 0.4% of earth's
surface
Growing demand for
safety and security
Malfunctions of critical infrastructures pose high risks to
urban economies: in 2003 3-day
power outage in New York City
caused loss of 1 bn USD
