According to the manufacturer, by 2050 the world's population is expected to reach around 10 billion, with exacerbating phenomena especially in South America, Asia and Africa.
Starting from the premise that cities are critical to driving economic growth, innovation and attracting talent, the paper addresses the significant challenges that come with growth, including the impacts of climate change and the effects of urbanization, especially in the global south.
In addition, Wilo believes that as major contributors to climate change, urban centers have significant potential for emissions reductions.
According to Willo's 2023 Annual Report: New Perspectives, for planned cities and those that continue to grow, the availability of safe and clean drinking water will be a critical issue.
