The United Nations projects that by 2050, two-thirds of the world’s population will live in urban centers. Demographic and social change, shifts in economic power, rapid urbanization, climate change and historic technological breakthroughs are some of the megatrends impacting design in global cities. Cities are playing a larger role in the identity of downtown workplaces, and companies are embracing the urban rather than closing it off. Drivers of change include the war for top talent, technological advancement, and a growing focus on experience. The best projects will take on a synergistic relationship with their local communities—leveraging assets, providing amenities, and creating local partnerships that benefit companies and their local communities.
