We believe that managing this complexity and the way people
move around poses dramatic challenges, but also opportunities for
companies that are actively embarking on a journey to address the
emerging needs of cities and customers.
To date, there has been little analysis of what cities and city planners
want. To explore urban mobility, we therefore did not just draw on our
own project experience. We consulted with leading industry experts
and, importantly, surveyed city planners in Germany about their
urban mobility objectives. Among others, the responses provide
insights into:
the type of project these cities currently prioritize
where they see a need for action in the future
who their preferred partners are
what sources of funding they have and what
solutions suit them best
The feedback clearly shows that the city of the future offers excellent
market opportunities – both short- and long-term – for
companies in the technology, telecommunication and infrastructure
space. In this study, we outline the prospects and provide
steers on how players should best position themselves now to capitalize
on the opportunities as they emerge.
