According to a report from the Urban Land Institute "Global Demographics 2008: Shaping Real Estate's Future," three key trends will shape the real estate industry in the future:

1. aging global population,
2. rapid urbanization and
3. new migration patterns.

Implications for real estate include growth in the retirement housing market, medical facilities, affordable senior housing and senior housing options. Also, there will be an "increased investment in urban infrastructure and increased need for both housing and retail services for a growing urban workforce."
