The 2014 Global Infrastructure Initiative
Rethinking Infrastructure
Rio de Janeiro, May 28-30, 2014
McKinsey & Company’s Global Infrastructure Initiative, convened in partnership with The Abraaj Group and in affiliation with Albright Stonebridge Group, gathers the most senior leaders in infrastructure to drive a critical discussion about the future of infrastructure and how to optimize the required investment of US $3 trillion annually. The Global Infrastructure Initiative is a movement of committed leaders, dedicated to unlocking economic growth and supporting more stable, healthy, and secure communities. We are honored that the Brazilian Development Bank, the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro, and the City of Rio de Janeiro will be providing institutional support.
Program Overview
Building on the success of the inaugural Global Infrastructure Initiative in Istanbul, the second meeting in Rio de Janeiro will focus on overcoming the recurring obstacles that arise on a global basis, and devising ways to accelerate the timely delivery of essential infrastructure. Unlike other events, the program centers on dialogue and debate, rather than presentations, with the specific objective of forging the insights and relationships required to drive change in the industry.
The agenda will explore the latest data, global best practices, and innovative approaches required to plan, finance, build, and operate the infrastructure needed to support a world of 9 billion people. We will also identify a set of tangible near-term actions that will remove bottlenecks within the infrastructure industry. Participants will take away new ideas and concrete solutions to apply to their business, city, country, or organization.

London City Hall - The Armadillo - Foster + Partners - 2002
London City Hall is the home of the offices for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. It was originally created as part of the infrastructure of the newly-formed Greater London Authority. London City Hall is located on the South Bank of the River Thames adjacent to Tower Bridge, in the City of London.
London City Hall is noted for its uniquely bulbous design that stands out amid the more conservative backdrop of the River Thames' south bank. The design was created with the highest demands of energy efficiency in mind. The bulbous nature of the building helps to reduce its outer surface area and thereby require less energy to heat. The entirety of the building is accessible by a helical staircase that runs 500 metres to the top floor. There is an exhibition and viewing area at the top of the building that is often used as a meeting space for the Greater London Authority. Photovoltaic cells are being integrated into the building to help bring it up to the United Kingdom's stringent energy guidelines. It was constructed using over 4 tonnes of steel and 13,100 square metres of concrete. During construction, two large pipes were installed that tapped into the water table of the River Thames. These pipes circulate cold water from these pipes throughout the building during the summer months as a cooling device. This has greatly lessened the energy impact of the building.
Currently, the London City Hall building is primarily used as the home of the Greater London Authority. The Greater London Authority is the successor of a few previously held government bodies that comprise the office of the mayor and the London Assembly. Its primary purpose is to provide oversight to a number of different governmental organisations. It does this by having direct oversight of Transport for London, the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime, the London Development Agency, and London Fire and Emergency Planning. The Greater London Authority is comprised entirely of elected administrative professionals, which has created some issues within the city. Since the city does not own the building, it is technically private property and is not subject to the same allowances to the public as other government buildings.
