<p>The focus of this year&#8217;s ULI report will be the importance of infrastructure to a city or country&#8217;s economic competitiveness. Globally, the report looks at the infrastructure trends in Western Europe, Asia, and North America, with special attention to the fast growing urban regions in China and the United Arab Emirates. The report also compiles the results of research on 23 metropolitan areas in North America to determine whether their long range plans are capable of accommodating the large population increases expected over the next 30 years.</p>
