OECD Regions and Cities at a Glance 2022
OECD Regions and Cities at a Glance presents indicators on individual regions and cities since the turn of the new millennium. It provides a comprehensive picture of past successes and likely challenges that regions and cities in OECD members and partner countries will face in their efforts to build stronger, more sustainable and more resilient economies. By relying on a combination of traditional and more innovative data sources, OECD Regions and Cities at a Glance describes the evolving nature of spatial disparities within countries from a multidimensional perspective. New topics covered by this edition include the economic impact of recent shocks, such as the pandemic and the energy crisis, housing affordability, climate change and digitalisation.
Reader’s guide
OECD Regions and Cities at a Glance 2022 provides a comprehensive assessment of how regions and cities across the OECD are progressing in their efforts to build stronger, more sustainable and more resilient economies and societies. The publication provides a unique comparative picture in a number of aspects connected to economic development, well-being, demographic change and environmental transition across regions and cities in OECD and selected non-OECD countries. The report assesses how regions and cities are adapting differently to the challenges of a strong recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic, the increasing pressure for energy transition and for ensuring affordable costs of living. The report focuses on the spatially heterogeneous effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as of those triggered by ongoing megatrends, such as urbanisation, digitalisation and demographic change.
