Second to None: Second Cities and Next Cities
Cities are already the locus of 80% of global GDP and home to
more than half of the world’s population. Further, the United
Nations (UN) anticipates that the world’s urban population will
grow to 6.7 billion in 2050 from a base of just 4.2 billion in 2018,
with close to 90% of this increase taking place in Asia and Africa.
