Cities of Opportunity 6Cities of Opportunity 6 analyzes the trajectory
of 30 cities, all capitals of fnance, commerce,
and culture—and, through their current
performance, seeks to open a window on what
makes cities function best. This year, we also
investigate demographics in a separate study—
Cities of Opportunity 6: We, the urban
people—to provide a rounded view of both the
urbanization and demographic megatrends
that shape our cities.

US Chairman and Senior Partner
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPSeeking the right balance for healthy urban growth
Cities have long managed themselves on a seesaw between individual will—the freewheeling ways of
people to start businesses, reroute streets, celebrate, protest, and, generally, do what they want when
they want—and the need for societies to organize rationally and effectively. How does a city balance the
“blessed rage to order,” as poet Wallace Stevens described the human need to structure reality, with the
“messy heterogeneity” that Suketu Mehta, author of Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found, tells us is a
key to a thriving, modern city?
It’s a hard road to walk—and shedding light on the path is one of the reasons we undertake Cities of
Opportunity. One way or the other, the thrill of the city is in our blood as is our shared responsibility to
make it better.
