Investing for the city of the future. How to thrive in a hyper-connected, increasingly urban, and resource-constrained world.
ecovivid advises on the future of cities. It helps companies and cities understand why urban life is changing and how to respond to the opportunities offered by digital technology and sustainable development. The founder, Professor Peter Madden, OBE, works alongside Boards and leadership Teams, helping them to understand the changing context, identify the opportunities and future-proof the organisation.
Digital technology is changing how we live, work, and play in cities. Ride hailing and self-driving cars will reduce the space needed for parking, online retail will leave shops struggling, traditional offices will be replaced by flexible, cloud-based working. The environmental imperative is also playing out in urban areas. Cities emit the majority of the world's carbon, and will also suffer the most severe impacts from climate change.
These trends bring challenges and big opportunities. Digital technology and smart cities along with sustainability and the low-carbon transition offer companies and city administrations the opportunity to drive efficiencies, create new business models, and access new markets
Professor Madden, has advised world-leading companies and cities on future trends, urbanisation, sustainability, and digital technology. He has led organisations including Future Cities Catapult, Forum for the Future, and Green Alliance. He brings 30-years of practical experience in creating innovative and profitable solutions.
