In 2011100,000 persons moved to Asian cities each day

This equals 37 million urban immigrants a year

To cope with this influx, 20,000 homes are needed every day

80% of GDP attributed to urban economies

Wealth and well being are inextricably linked to urbanisation

In 2010, over 42% of Asia’s population was

living in cities. By 2050, this will rise to 64%
