World Winning Cities Research
A multi-year research initiative launched in 2002 and designed to draw together the essence of contemporary city competitiveness and to predict the winners and losers in the battle for world city status. The programme examines trends that will impact on the business and economic landscape and how they are coalescing to create the rising urban stars of the next decade. It is unique in assessing the contribution of real estate to sustainable competitive advantage and the implications for investors, developers, occupiers and city governments. World Winning Cities Research goes beyond description to uncover the “why” of city real estate market dynamics.
Identifying City Winners
