SOCR 2004

The 2004 State of the Cities Report – the first of its kind – takes a hard look at the forces that have transformed the country’s largest cities since 1994 and asks what can cities expect should the current trends continue.

 

The report analyses key trends that affect the cities, how these trends are likely to evolve over time and what challenges and opportunities will arise. It assesses how city stakeholders are responding to these winds of change and acknowledges the important efforts that city leaders and decision makers are already making. Finally, it speculates on how various trends may unfold, and the likely medium to longer-term outcome.
