Cities for People

As urban population growth accelerates to 75 percent of humanity living in cities by 2050, AECOM recognizes the importance of developing resilient cities to meet global challenges. This population movement will increase demands on municipal services; energy, water and food resources; as well as infrastructure — requiring proactive steps now to ensure our future tomorrow.

AECOM’s vision for a more sustainable future drives much of our work, including the foundation of how we operate as a company. To us, sustainability is about mastering complexity in ways that optimize conditions for human development. And our commitment to this — on behalf of our clients and our communities — is visible in the everyday practices of our people and our projects.

As thought leaders and technical experts in this space, we share our blog to provide our perspectives on the world’s built, natural and social systems for better urban environments.
