Around the world, rapid urbanization is changing how people live and forcing societies to rethink housing, transport, and other essential city services. Fiscal sustainability and budget pressures, increasing citizen expectations, aging physical and digital infrastructure, social inclusion, safety, and service equity, climate change mitigation and decarbonization mandates are some of the other challenges that cities and municipal/local governments are facing.
Around the world, we work with elected officials, administrative executives, policy makers, and with leaders in infrastructure and other organizations to help improve livability and support effective provision of city services. Our approaches leverage technology, human capital, and governance to enhance sustainability, efficiency, and social inclusion. Our mission is to help create better places and spaces for citizens.
Our global cities network unites Audit, Tax and Advisory professionals from KPMG firms around the world to deliver coordinated, multidisciplinary approaches. By integrating the experiences of those with urban planning, public safety, infrastructure, transportation, healthcare and social services, education, economic and community development backgrounds with our financial, supply chain, AI, technology and data specialists and other advisors, we offer multifaceted and forward-thinking approaches to help address the unique challenges of cities.
