2. Emerging Challenges Making It Difficult
for Cities to Thrive
 Social:increasing number of urban residents placing
tremendous stress on already aging public
infrastructures
 Political:lack of shared goals that benefit all
constituents has kept previous public-private
partnerships (PPPs) from reaching their full potential
 Economic:global economic slowdown has dramatically
reduced government budgets, making it difficult for cities
to meet even basic citizen needs
 Technological:ICT advances have changed traditional
notions of where people work, taking away some of the
“brain power” cities almost exclusively enjoyed in the
past.
