McKinsey & Company - Dr. Jonathan Woetzel
Join UDI as we dive into the affordability issue in major cities with an expert eye, to get a global understanding of where Vancouver's challenges lie, and tested solutions as our region continues to grow. With the help of a global expert, we'll get an insightful look bolstered by global research at what cities can do to improve affordability and specifically supply issues.
Dr. Jonathan Woetzel, MGI Director and Senior Partner of McKinsey & Company, will be leading the conversation, joining us with extensive experience in this area. Renowned author, speaker and leader of McKinsey's business and economics research arm as well as McKinsey's Cities Special Initiative, Dr. Woetzel has worked with city, regional, and national authorities in more than 40 regions globally.
The following is just the tip of the iceberg of our conversation:
- Common problems all big cities face during growing pains
- Solutions that have worked for other cities in the past
- How government can support supply problems through means other than taxes and broad regulation
- Home shortage constraining economic growth
- Density & transit
- Last mile infrastructure
