The Key Economic Challenges Facing European Cities in 2026
Join us for the second webinar in our Spring 2026 series as Liam Sides from Oxford Economics presents The Key Economic Challenges Facing European Cities in 2026.
In this episode we will explore:
Why industrial cities are underperforming compared to service focused cities
The global trends shaping cities in 2026
Why affordable housing is one of the biggest challenges
2026 will be a year of divergence. Europe’s major service sector cities will tap into global growth while industrial and more rural regions fall behind. A range of factors are driving this outlook, including high energy prices, China’s move up the value chain, weak consumer demand, and tariffs. Yet not all is promising in major cities. House prices have increased significantly in recent years and will increasingly move from a political issue to an economic one. Please join this seminar to hear global city forecaster Oxford Economics outline their key themes for the year and what this means for their European outlook.
