Transform Cities
Nearly three-fourths of the world's population is expected to live in cities by 2050. This rapid urbanization brings opportunities but also new threats to health and economic well-being, and, with many cities located in fragile ecosystems, puts more people at risk of climate change impacts and other shocks and stresses.
The Rockefeller Foundation takes a systemic approach to tackling issues that influence cities, including climate change, economic opportunity, social cohesion, sustainable infrastructure, and equitable transportation, to ensure that cities continue to be places of enormous opportunity and growth.
