Some cities will flourish while others will struggle to meet the demands of a growing population and a changing environment. It will take the collaborative expertise of various disciplines, gathered under the umbrella of good governance, to ensure our cities thrive in the future. Spencer de Grey, Head of Design at Foster + Partners, explores the role that architecture and urban design can play in this global endeavour. This is the tenth essay in the Big Ideas series created by the European Investment Bank. The EIB has invited international thought leaders to write about the most important issues of the day. These essays are a reminder that we need new thinking to protect the environment, promote equality and improve people's lives around the globe. 606 $aBusiness & Economics / Finance$2bisacsh 606 $aEconomics 615 7$aBusiness & Economics / Finance 615 0$aEconomics. 700 $ade Grey$b Spencer$01276506 712 02$aEuropean Investment Bank 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910645987703321 996 $aCommon Ground$93007945 997 $aUNINA
