Helping you manage today's key issues

Cities and regions are becoming more important for economic growth partly driven by the global urbanization trend.

In a big part of the world we are dealing with the issue of changing population demographics & the ageing of our population. Do we really understand the impact of this changes & are we addressing it properly?

Governments across the world are looking at their governance models and adopting new public accounting standards like IPSAS.

Governments and NGO's are looking at the new role for the private sector in international development.

The worldwide financial crisis has accelerated the urgency of the public sector’s adoption of the sustainability agenda.

The challenges that CEOs perceive are—perhaps not surprisingly—the same issues that we at PwC confront every day.

Making it happen: A roadmap for cities and local public services

In this PwC report, we identify the essential success factors for the execution of a city’s strategy. Developing a clear vision and internal management capabilities allows a city to prioritise, invest in and strategically manage the building blocks or 'capital' needed by any city for long-term prosperity - social, environmental, cultural, intellectual, infrastructural, ICT and political participation.
