”We know the challenges are too great to be tackled by one party – collaboration and knowledge sharing between global networks is critical if we are to produce safe, resilient cities that can accommodate thriving, healthy communities.
Antonio GuterresDirector-General United Nations, 2022
The Great City Challenge
Today, according to the United Nations, 80% of the world is living in cities, and this figure is projected to increase.
The world is a crowded place, with the human population expected to reach 9 billion by mid-century.
Our city challenges are also great opportunities. Now more than ever, our cities are key to sustainable economies, environments and communities – with the built environment at their hearts.
With our race to Net Zero adding unprecedented pressure, structural change impacting many city-based sectors and the necessity for commerce & communities to collaborate better together, City-Squared was launched…
A collective, led by Co-Founder Jace Tyrrell, who brings together global experts to execute partnerships with civic leaders, commerce and communities to advance cities for the 21st Century.
