Compaies with global operatios require support wherever they operate ad look for solutio providers that ca work with them seamlessly aroud the world. At the same time a growig umber of cities compete o the global stage for iward ivestmets. These urba ceters look for global firms with itegrated solutios to help them succeed. Urbaizatio. Global populatio growth ad the migratio ito urbaized areas result i a growig umber of mega cities, especially i emergig markets. These cities require large programmatic ivestmets i residetial areas, idustrial sites, commercial properties ad other social ifrastructure. I the developed world urba regeeratio ad more sustaiable solutios provide growth opportuities.

Mobility. All metropolita areas suffer from cogestio, which has a sigificat impact o local ad atioal ecoomies. Govermets are ivestig to expad the capacity of roads, highways ad public trasportatio. Our itelliget traffic maagemet solutios ad rail systems expertise helps them achieve this i the most sustaiable, efficiet ad affordable way. Climate chage. Risig sea levels caused by climate chage are a uprecedeted challege for delta areas, where more tha 50% of the world s populatio lives. This creates demad for our solutios to lower greehouse gases ad carbo footprits; detect water resources; ad improve water maagemet ad flood protectio systems, i both the developed world ad emergig ecoomies. Sustaiability. Preservig resources ad quality of life for future geeratios is of paramout importace, which is why sustaiability is itegrated i everythig we do. With our evirometal capabilities, ad as recogized global leader, we are well positioed to address the evirometal impact of projects, ad propose appropriate mitigatio measures. Scarcity.

Expadig our water capabilities across the globe, we brig leadig edge solutios related to water supply, treatmet ad reuse to help protect this importat resource. Scarcity also exists i areas such as Healthcare, Educatio, Food, etc. ad we have developed Busiess Advisory capabilities to help serve govermet ad private sector cliets. leadig to a icreasig demad for both carbo based ad reewable eergy projects. This tred is a growth driver i all our busiess lies i both emergig ad developed markets. Natural resources. The exploratio ad developmet of atural resources such as miig ad oil & gas is becomig more complex as compaies active i these fields fid themselves i icreasigly remote locatios, facig evirometal challeges or water issues. Projects also become more complex, time critical ad require expert program maagemet services to esure their successful implemetatio. ACTIVE ACROSS THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN Arcadis delivers exceptioal ad sustaiable outcomes across the etire value chai through the applicatio of desig, cosultacy, egieerig, project ad maagemet services.
