State of The Consumer: The Future of NYC

As of last year, 39% of the U.S. population lived in the largest 4% of cities… but is that about to change?

Despite its reputation as the largest city in the United States, the population of New York City has actually declined over the last three years — and that was before it became the epicenter of a massive COVID-19 outbreak. Now with over 200,000 confirmed cases in the area, many New Yorkers have fled their urban lifestyles for less crowded surroundings, as others force themselves to adjust to social distancing with limited space.

To better understand the long-term effects that this crisis may have on our nation’s urban centers, Suzy CEO and Founder Matt Britton and Smart Cities Dive, Senior Editor Kristin Musulin will examine the behavior of verified city-dwelling consumers from our real-time market research platform, and look to NYC as the model for how cities of the future may continue to evolve.

- What consumers want to see in their cities moving forward, from stricter cleanliness guidelines to more comfortable outdoor spaces.
- How the rise of remote work may impact the future cost and availability of commercial real estate.
- Whether concerns about public transportation will impact traffic, congestion, and ecological footprints in urban areas.
