9,000+
cities modelled, plus sub-city detail
10+
years of spending outlook, by category
45
minutes, including live Q&A
Aligning with broad shifts, executing with precision.
The problem
National and regional strategies are directionally right, but too imprecise to guide real capital and category decisions.
The cost
Missing the specific pockets of opportunity
The method
World Data Lab's city-level (and sub-city) modelling of 9,000+ cities allows us to pinpoint where specific types of spending will take off over the next 10+ years.
Includes 2 live city cases
Shotgun vs. rifle
National strategy is a shotgun. Growth in retail is won with a rifle shot, city by city, and below.
The same country-level trend can mean a decade of category growth in one metro and flat demand in the next. The webinar shows how that resolution changes the decision.
Country view
Directionally right. Spread too thin to fund.
City view
Specific places, specific categories, specific years.

“Retailers' future depends not only on what happens in their stores and online, but on the consumer spending shifts happening outside their doors.”
“The next decade of retail growth won't be won by country. It will be won by city — and increasingly, by neighbourhood.”
