This document outlines several major changes that will affect societies in the next 5-10 years. Growing populations and urbanization will increase demands on cities for infrastructure, healthcare, education, and more sophisticated consumers. Technologies like smarter cities, renewable energy, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and IoT will be necessary to address these demands and enable continued economic growth in a changing climate.
