The world is rapidly urbanizing: according to the UN, today more than half of the world's population lives in cities, and by 2050 this share may reach 66%.
At the same time, cities account about 80% of the world's GDP. This makes them not just centers of life, but also engines of economic growth. Moscow is one of the leading megacities and the second urban economy in the world. Being among the leaders, we don't want to stay on what we have achieved. We are constantly looking for new solutions that make our city better and its economy even stronger. Therefore, understanding the trends of urban development becomes more important than ever before.
