Just how great might the Greater Bay Area become?
In this webinar we will discuss just how great the Greater Bay Area might become. We will look at Oxford Economics’ long term forecasts for the region and compare them with forecasts for elsewhere, and we will consider whether the GBA has unique advantages over other city-regions, both in China and globally. We will also consider what comparisons, if any, with other places teach us, and what the challenges facing the GBA are. Richard Holt is Head of Global Cities Research at Oxford Economics, with responsibility for developing Oxford Economics’ in-depth knowledge of city and regional economies, globally.
