The Cities Positioning Study will:
1. Provide a high-level understanding of the approximate size of a city, encompassing the full process of urbanization until the city reaches its ultimate population level;
2. Provide an overview of the cities through the lenses of economic competition landscape in the longer term;
3. Define a vision for ultimate city size and carrying capacity, structure, relative roles in the connectivity and capture of transport and trade flows in regional and national economy and analyze its implications;
