520 _aFocuses on the economic power of cities, the huge expansion of urban consuming classes, and the implication of the consumer demand for the construction of new residential and commercial buildings, port capacity to meet rising volumes of container shipping as demand fuels trade in goods, and municipal water. In this research, McKinsey Global Institute expanded and updated the MGI Cityscope database of cities. This allows them to offer insights into the evolution of the urban world and its demographics, household structure and incomes. Cityscope 2.0 includes 253 more cities, to bring the total covered to 2,657, and incorporates the latest economic and demographic data, including data available from China's 2010 and India's 2011 census. They have also added estimates of new metrics against which to view cities' contribution to activity and growth in different sectors.
