Cidades médias em crescimento
The world’s new growth frontier: Midsize cities in emerging markets
"Senior executives searching for growth face a stark new reality: roughly 400 midsize cities in emerging markets—cities they mostly will have never heard of—are posed to generate nearly 40 percent of global growth over the next 15 years. That’s more growth than the combined total of all developed economies plus the emerging markets’ megacities (those with populations of more than ten million, such as Mumbai, São Paulo, and Shanghai), which together have been the historic focus of most multinationals."
Este trabalho, da responsabilidade da McKinsey, coloca em evidência a emergência das cidades de média dimensão no contexto da economia global, empurrada pelo crescimento da população das classes médias, as quais são, por sua vez, incentivadas pelo progresso económico registado nesses países.
Em 2025, estima-se que a maior parte das famílias de classe média se situem em países emergentes, mais do que em países desenvolvidos.
