I recently visited Auckland, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Sydney recently, speaking in various venues about globalization, emerging technology, and their impacts on cities, including a presentation at the Adelaide \u2018Open State\u2019 festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From traditional North American\/European perspectives, both Australia and New Zealand are the \u2018end of the line\u2019. Auckland is 12 hours ahead of London \u2013 literally on the other side of the planet.\u00a0 But in the past decade, ANZ\u2019s most globally active cities have been going from strength to strength. Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland in particular are booming. Of course their baseline trade and exchange is the foundation for this. But these cities are also becoming globally relevant destinations of choice for the next generation of wealth creators. And people attract people: new generations go because other young people are already there.<\/p>\n

In the background of all this are the explosive urbanization rates in Asia. One million people move to cities every week, ignited primarily by China and India. This rate of urbanization is set to continue for the next 15 years, and some of this urbanization \u2018leaks\u2019 into ANZ. The continuing mixing of cultures and innovation concentrates talent and investment, creating new opportunities. But there are also new challenges related to congestion and economic inequality. Some of the cities that are consistently voted most \u2018liveable\u2019 and \u2018most affordable\u2019 are also experiencing related disadvantages \u2013 their affordability is a proxy for their aging populations and their increasing struggle to attract and retain younger generations.<\/p>\n

There is a lot of energy in ArchTam’s Australia and New Zealand studios, where the Brilliant Cities team<\/a> has undertaken many new initiatives, including the launch of a new report<\/a> titled Transport on Demand: Accelerating Australian Cities<\/em>, which features primary research produced by ArchTam in cooperation with GoGet, Australia\u2019s biggest car share network. Follow the discussion on twitter using #brillcities and #urbanmobility.<\/p>\n
