Cities, and not Countries, will drive wealth creation in the future.
• Cities as island of excellence and competitiveness.– Attracts young and vibrant talent– Compactness energy efficiency
• Emerging countries survive only when they can manage how to merge these “island of competitiveness” into the rest of the country.– China vs. Mexico in early 2000s

Mega Cities
• Bangkok accounts for 25% of Thailand’s GDP
• Seoul accounts for 50% of Korea’s GDP
Since 2008 more than ½ of the world population live in cities.

Business model for competitiveness and collaboration in the future will be less based on capital and much more based on talent. - Prof. Klaus Shwab, WEF
and particularly the potential of
social network in enhancing
partnerships among themselves,
among the people who share their
