6%, following gains of 9% in 2014 and noteworthy growth of an estimated 13%
in 2015. For 2016, the economic environment should support further growth in
global construction activity. While short-term interest rates will be increasing in
2016, given the expected rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, the rise in long-term
interest rates should stay gradual. On the plus side, the US economy continues
to register moderate job growth, lending standards are still easing, market
fundamentals for commercial real estate continue to improve, and more funding
support is coming from state and local construction bond measures.
This years Governors Programme will address some of the most pressing
issues in the global, industry and regional agendas related to Engineering &
Construction, Real Estate and Urban Development. The Forums Infrastructure
& Urban Development Industries team will strive to make 2016 an even more
successful year than 2015, bringing to fruition a number of results directly related
to Forum initiatives, while making use of the vast experience and knowledge
of our new Partners. The team looks forward to working with all members of
the community in 2016 to advance the industries agendas in accordance with
the Governors mandate set at the Annual Meeting 2016 in Davos-Klosters.
The Infrastructure & Urban Development Industries aim to serve as a forward-
thinking, valuable and internationally recognized partner for all stakeholders
involved in infrastructure and urban development. In addition, it seeks
opportunities to convene leaders, raise global awareness, conceive frameworks
and prepare actionable recommendations in the context of improving the state of
the world.
It is our privilege to welcome you to the Annual Meeting 2016 in Davos. As we come together
to discuss the current state and opportunities within the Infrastructure and Urban Development
Industries, the world is facing unprecedented challenges. The worst refugee crisis in living memory
is just one reminder of how geostrategic competition, renewed regionalism and new forces of
antagonism are eroding global solidarity. Concern is also growing about the effects of digitalization,
robotics and shared economy on productivity growth, job creation, production systems and
purchasing power. It is in this context that the World Economic Forums mission remains more

The Outlook on the Global Agenda 2015 reflects the thought leadership of the worlds foremost intelligence network a
community of over 1,500 global experts. The World Economic Forum continuously strives to identify what matters to
and intrigues our constituents. This year, the Forum surveyed chief executive officers and experts from business (43%),
academia (22%), civil society (19%), government (9%) and international organizations (7%) across industries and regions to
gather and synthesize their opinion and insights on the most important global issues. The Survey on the Global Agenda
2015 received valid replies from 1,767 respondents, which is a 10% increase compared to last years survey.
The findings of the Survey on the Global Agenda 2015 are chronicled in the Outlook on the Global Agenda 2015 report,
which offers a comprehensive overview of the world today, as well as an analysis of how these experts expect it to
develop in the coming 12-18 months. It also outlines the nature of global trends, regional challenges, global leadership and
governance, as well as the emerging issues that should be on the agendas of global leaders. In the spirit of the Forum,
solutions to these issues have been developed by members of the Global Agenda Councils.
The top 10 global trends that emerged can be clustered around key topic areas:
Geopolitical and governance issues (3,628 respondents on top 10 global trends #3, #4, #7 and #9)
Social, health and employment issues (2,993 respondents on #1, #2 and #10)
Climate change and sustainability (2,725 respondents on global trends #5, #6 and #8)
In detail, the top 10 global trends were identified and selected by the survey participants to be:
1. Deepening income inequality (1,224 responses)
2. Persistent jobless growth (1,031)
3. Lack of leadership (967)
4. Rising geostrategic competition (956)
5. Rising pollution in developing world (951)
6. Increasing water stress (901)
7. Weakening of representative democracy (876)
8. Increasing occurrence of severe weather events (873)
9. Intensifying nationalism (832)
10. Growing importance of health in the economy (738)
