management – vision or illusion? Siegfried Gerlach

Megatrends – the toughest questions of our time

Demographic

change

World population will

continue to grow

rapidly (up 26% by

2030). In addition,

societies in both

developed and emer-

ging nations will

continue to age.

Urbanization

Today, half the

world’s population

lives in urban areas.

The number of me-

gacities with more

than ten million inha-

bitants has in-

creased tenfold in

the last 50 years.

Climate change

Climate change is a

fact. It is a serious

man-made environ-

mental challenge,

threatening huma-

nity as well as the

biosphere.

Innovations are the

strongest levers to

combat its negative

consequences.

Globalization

Global economic

growth is unequally

distributed among

the world’s indivi-

dual regions.

Globalization leads

to growth and pros-

perity in those coun-

tries that participate

in this process.


Urbanization

Megatrends pose urgent challenges to cities

Cities directly or indirectly account for 60% of world's water use

Increasing scarcity of natural resources

Traffic congestion on city streets in Western Europe will increase 188% by 2010

Increasing mobility

Cities cause 80% of the greenhouse gases, but they cover only 0.4% of the earth's surface

Growing need for environmental care Malfunctions of critical infra-structures pose high

risks to urban economies: in 2003 3-day power outage in New York City caused loss of 1 bn USD

Growing demand for safety and security

Urban air pollution causes an estimated 130,000 premature deaths each year in developing countries (Source: WHO)

Growing demand for health- and elder care

Demographic change

The forecast:

The demand for mobility will constantly rise

while freight traffic is expected to increase by 2.5%.*

Infrastructure capacity



50 % of the passengers travel during 25 % of our

operating hours

Massive differences in demand between

the morning/evening rush hours and the

rest of the time.

Market growth further accentuates this

disparity between different periods of the

day.

The concentration of transport volumes

at specific times of the day is not a

phenomenon specific to public transport.

It is also a feature of road traffic.
