How Do Cities Finance the Transformative Work They Want to Do? (Festival of the Future City)

Alice Charles (World Economic Forum) joins Greg Clark (HSBC / Connected Cities Catapult) and Mayor of Bristol Marvin Rees to look at what cities need and where funding can be secured.

If cities are to do great things – from mitigating climate change to delivering transformative programmes on social issues – considerable levels of new finance are needed. Dealing with climate change alone may cost as much as £200bn.

What can and should government provide? What is available in the markets and from private investors and how can this be secured? Are there new ideas – such as city bonds and better use of pension funds – that can be adopted? And is there a renewed role for philanthropy in cities?

What can we learn from other cities worldwide?
