1.The first and most important creator of growing wealth disparity is technology. Machine intelligence and robotics are already systematically replacing attractive and high paying work, making a few people even wealthier, while hitting two groups especially hard: the middle aged who are difficult to re-train and the young, who find many entry-level roles now automated and have not been prepared for other, yet to be identified, roles. This affects both wealthy countries with a higher average age (e.g. Germany at 48.5 years) and some of the poorest and youngest countries (e.g Nigeria at 18.5), who can no longer compete in their traditional, labour intensive ways.
The second factor likely to exacerbate the problem is one I am somewhat embarrassed to admit as a former Dean of a business school: the declining rate of investment around the world. Uncertainty in political and economic markets, the decline in trust in institutions and the formal modelling of financial cost-benefit analysis has made us more risk averse – and less likely to invest in work-creating ideas at a time of accelerated job extinction.

2.From millennials eager to live where they work to downsizing baby boomers to new arrivals from other provinces or from around the world, Canada’s urban populations are set to continue to grow—and their needs are evolving. Because of this, mixed-use projects combining residential, retail, and commercial components continue to thrive—and there’s a growing consensus that developers must do better when designing public spaces. Developers have responded by continuing to rethink their approach to mixed-use projects: instead of focusing on building “stand-alone” mixed-use buildings, they’re increasingly building mixed-use neighborhoods and communities that pack residential, retail, and commercial space into a dynamic whole. Most respondents noted that this type of “placemaking” is a reality that developers need to seriously consider.
