The concept of ‘Urban Capital’ encompasses the core infrastructure and property that cities need to operate and thrive. It seeks to identify opportunities to invest in the resources and functions which are essential to urban life.

Through fostering a discussion about Urban Capital, JPES Partners wants to look at what the future holds for city environments in a post-pandemic world and how investment can respond to changed patterns of living and the fresh opportunities they provide.

In the first of our Urban Capital podcast series, Dr Walter Boettcher –  Head of Research and Forecasting at international property consultants, Colliers –  talks about how cities are emerging from the pandemic and what the future holds for them.

In a wide-ranging conversation with Duncan Lamb, Walter reflects on the seemingly unstoppable trend towards urbanisation, his own experience as a private landlord and why the asset classification ‘Other’ may be where investor value can be found.
