2 Trends to Transform Industry

Two trends from 2002 will transform the metro New York City construction industry by 2052:

Demographic shift to non-male, non-white industry - over 50% of the companies will be owned and managed by this emerged segment. Our industry will remain one of huge opportunities for immigrants to assimilate, grow and thrive economically continuing the trend from the very beginnings of America.

Digital technology will be pervasive in its usage at all levels of the industry from planning g to design to construction. Many wearable devises will automate tasks and users will respond in a very intuitive manner to these devices.

Despite the shifts the industry will remain dominated by small businesses and continuing evolving roles.

In 2052 architects will still bemoan their loss of industry leadership!
