Shaping the Future of Cities
About the WGI City Adaptability Index™
Unlock the Potential of The Adaptive City™
WGI is at the forefront of reimagining how cities can adapt to an ever-changing world. We’ve developed the groundbreaking concept of The Adaptive City™ and the City Adaptability Index™. This tool is your gateway to assess and benchmark your city’s intrinsic agility to navigate continuous change and disruption, regardless of its size.
In Partnership with Global Thought Leaders
Our collaborative efforts with Columbia University’s Global Leaders in Construction Management (GLCM) have led to influential publications in the World Economic Forum (WEF), Global Infrastructure HUB (GI Hub, a G20 Initiative) and the IBM Center for the Business of Government (IBM CBG).
Now available for your city’s transformation
We’re thrilled to offer the City Adaptability Index™ to a broader audience, empowering cities to become more adaptive and agile.
