AUDI, in Partnership with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Launches “Bridging Cities: Exploring Solutions for Shared Challenges”

May 20, 2025

The Arab Urban Development Institute (AUDI), in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), unveiled a new report titled “Building Bridges Between Cities: Exploring Solutions for Shared Challenges” on the sidelines of the Euro-Arab Cities Dialogue Forum. The report aims to foster cooperation and address common urban challenges faced by cities across the two regions.

The report explores how Arab and European cities can strengthen cooperation by applying six practical models of urban connectivity. It focuses on three main priorities: building climate resilience, advancing digital transformation, and improving municipal finance. Drawing on case studies from cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Amsterdam, Sofia, and Riyadh, the report presents actionable solutions for promoting sustainable urban development.

Positioned as a key reference for shaping comprehensive urban policies, the report calls for strong partnerships and forward-thinking strategies to build more balanced and interconnected cities for the future.
