Urban infrastructure decisions are not easy tasks –they require a strategic and programmatic approach

Prioritization: Hype versus important trends and levers

Integrating technological, economical and political

� What are the most important trends influencing cities and what are key infrastructure areas for a successful urban development?

� How to consider all relevant perspectives when deciding about infrastructure solutions? Technical


economical and political perspectives

Consensus and collaboration of public,

private and academic sector

Execution andimplementation

deciding about infrastructure solutions? Technical feasibility, effectiveness / efficiency, ease of implementation / barriers to change

� How to jointly shape the future of a city and the quality of life of its citizens by combining public leadership with private and academic competences?

� What are the best mechanism for executing infrastructure programs, that last and how to overcome barriers to implementation?

Global megatrends imply significant sustainability challenges for city managers

Global Megatrends

1. Urbanization

� 2008: 3.3 bn. people (> 50%)will live in cities

� 2030: 5 bn. people (60% of total population) will live in cities


� Cities are competing globally for best policies and infrastructure solutions to make their urban areas attractive to live and to invest in

� Rapid population growth:6.6 bn. (2007) - 9.2 bn. (2050)

� Increase of life expectancy:2007: 7% 2050: 16%

3. Energy demand / Climate Change

� 75% share of cities in globalenergy demand

� Cities responsible for about80% of greenhouse gases

Summary and Outlook

Insights based on “Megacity Challenges” and “Sustainable Urban infrastructure” studies

Infrastructure Know-how from global business in

� Global survey on infrastructure challenges of 25 Megacities

� > 500 interviews and secondary research for selected cities

Thought leadership initiatives on“Urban Infrastructures”

Siemens AG


from global business inthree sectors:

- Industry

- Energy

- Healthcare

research for selected cities

� Research partners: Globe Scan, MRC McLean Hazel

� Detailed analytical approach to assess and optimize most important levers for sustainable infrastructures

� First case study in London; further studies in 6 urban areas by 2010

� Research partner: McKinsey

Research partners

“Megacity Challenges”-study showed high investment needs, with transportation infrastructures as top priority

% of > 500 respondents mentioning

Highest needs for investment over the next 5-10 years


� Overall high investments in all urban infrastructure areas expected

� Transportation perceived to be biggest challenge and top priority to attract investors

� Water and Energy: Awareness / priority ≠ objective situation

“Sustainable Urban Infrastructure”-studies indicate a clear need for quantitative assessments to prioritize and direct policies and investment
