    INTRODUCTION

    BRICS NEW DELHI 2012 |17

    The BRICS members collective weight,

    both physical and economic, providesthem with an unparalleled capacity to

    infuence the global discourse

    ministers are a feature on the BRICS calendar. And there are otherareas where synergies of BRICS technological capabilities serve

    the cause of its peoples, perhaps also contributing to evolvingglobal positions of contemporary relevance.

    Intra-BRICS trade is increasing at an average rate of 28 per centannually and currently stands at about $230 billion. Bilateralinvestment ows among BRICS members are also increasing.Consumer expenditure in BRICS countries as a percentage of grossdomestic product ranges from 35 per cent to 61 per cent, and thereis a strong and growing middle class, with rising levels of income.The BRICS countries today comprise new growth poles in a multipolarworld. During the global economic and nancial crisis, the BRICScountries played a vital role as drivers of growth that helped theglobal economy emerge from the shadows of crisis. They are not athreat to global growth, but an opportunity for global growth.

    The fourth summit in New Delhi is taking place against thebackdrop of several important developments, both economic andpolitical. A faltering global recovery made more complex by thecrisis in the eurozone is affecting growth; important internationalevents on climate change and sustainable development touch on

    issues of high relevance to the BRICS agenda; the completion ofRussias accession process at the eighth World Trade Organizationministerial conference opens new strands of engagement; and so on.The summit offers the leaders an opportunity for consultations onthese issues and a broad slate of others of global concern.

    The BRICS summit will focus on ways and means to deal withthe lingering shadows of the global economic and nancial crisis.

    It may also touch upon the global governance architecture anda host of issues there that are increasingly relevant to BRICScountries. Patterns and a calendar of consultation and coordinationamong the BRICS members over the coming year may be expectedto gure on the summit agenda.

    this wave is extraordinary: To accommodate the new work

    force, Grade A office stock isprojected to grow by more than10 percent per year over the nextdecade, from 90 million sq m todayto more than 220 million sq m.

    Consumer demand will reshape theretail landscape. While there arenow 1,000 modern shopping mallsacross the BRICS, by 2020 therecould be well over 2,500. Thats anew mall opening every two days.

    For BRICS cities to take up themantle of world winning, they willhave to show skills in innovative andintelligent financing; put significantresilience and sustainabilitystrategies in place; and demonstrateimproving transparency aroundlegal systems, commercial codesand business practices.

    The race for recognition willaccelerate as many more cities seeka place on regional and world stages.

    Competing for finance or

    financing for competitiveness?

    Across the BRICS markets,

    successful municipalities will bethose that manage the demands ontheir infrastructure while cultivatingtheir appearance to the outside worldas attractive investment destinations.

    Investors are extending their horizonsto a range of more than 300 globalcities. Robust economic growth rates,deepening real estate transparency,and improved quality of real estatestock in emerging and middle-weightcities will be compelling pull factors. Atthe same time, investors will track the

    real estate demands of internationalcorporate occupiers, who are pushingfurther into new geographies.

    Only thirty cities account for half theworlds total real estate investmentvolumes. The top five cities aloneLondon, Tokyo, New York, HongKong and Parisaccount for nearlyone-quarter of volumes.

    Shanghai, Beijing, Moscow, SoPaulo and Rio de Janeiro haveall become top-30 investment

    destinations since 2008, while theBRICS overall contribution to globalreal estate investment volumes has

    increased from less than one percentin 2004 to nearly 10 percent in 2011.

    In India alone, the market value ofinvestment-grade real estate assetsunder construction across the office,retail and residential sectors is morethan US$160 billion, over 60 percentof which is residential.

    Building beyond sustainability

    to resilience

    Alongside this massive buildingprogramme India is making strideson the sustainability of its real estate,

    which has progressed from twocertified projects in 2004 to 292 in2011. The quality of of fice stock isalso improving and is increasinglybeing built to internationallyrecognised standards.

    The property sector recognises it hasan important part to play in creatingthe conditions to accommodate thisshift in economic power and citygrowth patterns. To fulfil this role,it needs to design spatial footprints

    that can both absorb growth andmeet carbon reduction commitments.It needs to look at the social impact

    of development as well as its locationand design. Finally, it needs to workwith city authorities to deliver thesustainable physical and socialinfrastructure that will best match theneeds of residents and businesses.

    Urbanisation on this scale happensonly once. The legacy of todays realestate development will last for manydecades to come.

    Contemporary internationareations are characterisedby the rapid deveopment ofnetwork dipomacy. On theone hand, this deveopment

    is a sign of the democratisation of theinternationa system and its rising

    poycentricity. On the other hand, itindicates the increasing interdependencyof states and integration. Everyintergovernmenta aiance needs to

    deveop its externa reations to strengthenits internationa status and increase itsefciency for the members.

    BRICS is no different. As an associationon a goba scae that unites countriespaying important roes in eadinginternationa organisations and in a range

    of regiona structures, it shoud startdeveoping an externa reations strategy.What coud be the key features of such

    a strategy? The most important thing

    is a thoughtfu seection of partners. Ininternationa reations, a man is knownby the company he keeps. The emphasisshoud be on engaging with the emergingeconomies and major deveoping countries;with speciaised agencies of the United

    Nations (UN) such as UNESCO, the WordHeath Organization (WHO), the Foodand Agricuture Organization, the UNIndustria Deveopment Organization andthe UN Environment Programme; withregiona structures such as the ShanghaiCooperation Organisation (SCO), theCommonweath of Independent States,the Eurasian Economic Community, theAfrican Union (AU), the Arab league,the Union of South American Nations,Mercosur, the Guf Cooperation Counci,the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
