Shaping the Future of Cities
Every day, we impact millions of people’s lives in cities around the globe by creating places where people live, work, and play. Last year alone we created 1.2 billion square feet of space. That’s why we are committed to designing with an unwavering focus on Human Experience as we work to shape the future of cities.
Why Cities Matter So Much
We are living through the greatest period of urbanization in history. For the first time, more people live in urban centers than don’t. By 2050, more than 70% of the earth’s population will live in cities. Cities are also responsible for 80% of global GDP — they are engines of creativity and economic innovation for everything from technology to healthcare. We have an opportunity to make cities more livable and improve the lives of people.
