Summary:

The 2024 edition of Regions and Cities at a Glance aims to understand the size, scale, and evolution of the spatial impacts of megatrends, including demographic shifts, climate change, and technological advancements. By offering internationally comparable data, it aims to identify countries where economic or social outcomes-or both-have been stronger, providing guidance for policy development in regions with weaker performance. The analysis on this edition draws from conventional and unconventional sources of data to provide timely and detailed metrics on, among others, the impacts of climate change, skill shortages during transitions, and access to opportunities for various socio-economic groups in regions and cities. This edition also presents for the first time internationally comparable estimates of real GDP and household income growth, adjusted for regional price changes.
