Urban Infrastructure: Exploring the challenges and opportunities of traditional and digital infrastructure in cities across the globe
Summary
"Urban Infrastructure" is an analytical report that provides insight into the effects of infrastructure on the growth potential of urban locations, and predicts future developments. The report is primarily concerned with three areas; internal transportation, external transportation, and digital infrastructure. The report considers the impacts of each of these areas on economic viability and development.
Infrastructure is vital for determining the success or failure of a city. Strong infrastructure results in a city that can easily grow to accommodate more people, allows for a highly mobile population minimizing economic time lost to travel, and makes high levels of tourism possible, boosting the influence of the city.
Densely populated cities lead to high demand on internal transport systems, often resulting in high congestion and slow commutes. This has a knock on effect throughout the day, harming productivity. Effective city development hinges on keeping these costs to acceptable levels.
Transportation between cities depends on local infrastructure, often with serious challenges to expansion. This infrastructure then is a key factor in the effective distance between cities, measured in the time and monetary cost of transport rather than physical separation. In order to continue building a smaller and more connected world, high quality and high speed transport links need to be constructed and expanded continually, due to ever increasing demand.
Digital infrastructure provides a partial answer to both of these challenges, allowing for precise location to become less important while still interacting fully with the global economy. Improved digital infrastructure continually increases the potential for disruptive technology through improved capacity, and will reshape how we interact with businesses and with cities.
Scope
- Limits imposed by infrastructure demands will lead to slower growth for the largest cities, where high costs cause difficulty improving supply to meet demand and local situations may preclude sufficient expansion.
- Developments in infrastructure technology allow for more effective infrastructure and less disruptive construction techniques. These improvements have a greater effect on locations currently underserved by their infrastructure, and will improve their growth potential.
- Improving digital infrastructure changes how consumers interact with businesses, creating new opportunities as behaviours shift.
Reasons to buy
- Cities are large and varied markets with a plethora of opportunities for businesses. The effects of infrastructure on cities is easily overlooked, but has a significant impact on every aspect of urban function.
- Through detailed research, Urban Infrastructure provides insight into the current trends affecting cities and their citizens. By analyzing the effects on the urban landscape, this report provides a high level of clarity in order to aid business decisions.
