How does the Greater Vancouver region stack up on the world stage? Where do we excel? Where do we lag? What is the way forward?
The Greater Vancouver Board of Trade has commissioned The Business of Cities to conduct the inaugural Benchmarking Greater Vancouver Report of this decade — the first since 2018.
This initiative is designed to provide comprehensive data on how the Greater Vancouver region measures up to leading international peer cities that are renowned globally for their economic dynamism and quality of life.
The report offers insights into Greater Vancouver’s economy, infrastructure & sustainability, livability, transport & technology and more.
Join us for the unveiling event of the 2024 Benchmarking Greater Vancouver Report. The launch will feature a keynote presentation by Dr. Tim Moonen, Co-Founder and Managing Director of The Business of Cities, followed by a panel discussion to further explore the data and the insights that can guide our region.
