OECD Expert Briefing: Successful Cities

 

 

More people than ever are living in cities - and that number will continue to grow over the next century. Whether it’s reducing their carbon footprint or ensuring that basic transport and infrastructure needs are met, cities need policies and governance structures that can adapt to the complexity of 21st century urban society. Two new OECD reports, the Metropolitan Century and Governing the City uncover what makes cities successful.  More on OECD Urban Policy work.
