This report aims to identify the key urban challenges, issues encountered when moving towards an urban transformation and the risks associated with public private partnership (PPPs) in urban development projects, which include:
- Key urban issues around the world, among them common ones such as climate change, economic development and regional issues, including urban planning (in Asia), migration and social segregation (in Europe), social inclusion (in North America), mobility (in South America), safety and security (in the Middle East and North Africa), and water (in Sub-Saharan Africa)
- Challenges inhibiting urban transformation, such as governance structures, budgetary constraints, talent, leadership and demographic changes
