New Report: Urban Innovation and Investment

The Future Cities Catapult has published Urban Innovation and Investment, a new report explaining for the first time how International Financial Institutions (IFIs) are responding to the rapid rise in urbanisation and how they will help us build the cities of the future.

Based on case studies of 13 IFIs, combined with interviews with 21 representatives at 11 of the institutions, the report focuses on how the agenda for urban investment and innovation is evolving. It identifies that IFIs already contribute $30 billion of lending directly to urban projects each year and that 60 percent of total IFI lending has an impact on cities.
