Infrastructure 100:

World Cities Edition

Welcome
U

rban infrastructure is undoubtedly
one of the greatest challenges
facing the world today. With more
than half of the global population
already huddled into cities that – together –
make up less than two percent of the planet’s
land cover, the pressure now being placed on
urbaninfrastructure is unprecedented.
But, as this publication demonstrates, these
challenges are clearly not insurmountable.
All around the world, we see inspirational and
innovative examples of projects that are sure
to transform not only the urban setting, but also
the way the world’s urban populations interact
with their infrastructure, their governments,
their cities and the environment.
KPMG’sGlobal Infrastructure practice is
proud, therefore, to present The Infrastructure
100: World Cities Edition; a showcase of one
hundred urban infrastructure projects that
embody the spirit of innovation and stand as
an inspiration to infrastructure participants and
city leaders around the world.
We were also encouraged by the response
to our call for submissions which – between

March andApril 2012 – brought forward a wide
range of world-class projects through our open
online nomination process. With the support
of an external and independent group of expert
industry professionals (moderated by a third
party) our judging panels selected the one
hundred projects that most excelled against five
criteria: scale, feasibility, technical or financial
complexity, innovation andimpact on society.
It is worth noting that no KPMG employees
participated as judges, making this report a
truly independent and unbiased reflection of
some of the best urban infrastructure projects
currently under way around the world.
On behalf of the Infrastructure 100 project
team, we would like to thank each of our
distinguished panel judges for their time, their
insight and theirparticipation in this process.
We are confident that – thanks to their
individual participation and engagement –
we have compiled a list of projects that truly
reflects the diversity and scale of today’s
urban infrastructure projects.
We hope you find the one hundred projects
that were selected as motivational as we do.
