Financing Future Cities: Urban Technology

Today more than 50% of the world’s population lives in cities, with 10 percent living in the top 30 metropolises. In this episode Greg Clark speaks with Lucy Yu, CEO at the Centre for Net Zero, and Martin Richards, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Sustainable Finance President for HSBC Ventures. They discuss how our future cities will operate, the growth of Urban Tech, new digital technologies and platforms such as AI, the Internet of Thing and how these technologies can aid transformation of citizen services in the both public and private sectors, and can help optimise the benefits of urbanisation.

Financing Future Cities is a podcast series produced by HSBC and hosted by Greg Clark. It sets out to examine the complex and evolving role of urban hubs through the lens of banking and finance. To find out more about how HSBC are supporting customers transition to net-zero, click here.
