ABOUT BCG’S TCI PRACTICE Travel, Cities, & Infrastructure form a significant and dynamic part of the global economy. Massive amounts of public and private capital are flowing into physical infrastructure upgrades as well as sweeping changes driven by digitization and the climate transition. Very significant public and private entities exist in this space with bold ambitions over the coming decade. These topics also have far-reaching effects in areas such as climate resilience, holistic livability, sustainable mobility and equality. To better serve our clients in these spaces, we have created a new dedicated industry practice area - Travel, Cities, & Infrastructure (TCI) Practice Area. This practice will not only serve specific clients in these spaces (e.g., Construction, Real Estate, Shipping/Logistics, Airports, Airlines, Rail, Road, Leisure Travel), but will also collaborate closely with our Public Sector practice and Infrastructure Investors sector.
