The challenges we face today are unique; with Brexit in the UK, European migration and
urbanisation giving rise to global cities, where 68% of the world population will reside in by 2050.
As cities establish themselves in the technological age, they will continue to dominate the global
economy. Such influence is a magnet for international investment, however the rapid technology
changes coupled with local financial pressures are reshaping the workforce and the delivery of
city services.
The importance of identifying, nurturing and empowering the reservoir of untapped talent in cities
is imperative, as well as capacity building to include as part of city plans for growth. Thus preparing
all for the evolving world of work and ensures no one is left behind. As a solution to these challenges
