Informal sector is 40-60% of employment in most Indian cities; 20-30% global average. Scale: GDP per capita USD 5K-80K varies by city. Time horizon: Continuous. Multilateral coverage: 197 countries × 1,584 cities (T1/T2/T3).

Does Urban Economy apply across all 197 countries?
CityOS is multilateral by construction. Frameworks adapt to legal, fiscal, and institutional context — but the structural slices are universal. City-specific applications surface via /os/cityos/country/{country}/.
How does this relate to AJG's broader platform?
CityOS complements TradeOS (operations) and GovOS (rules) by adding the urban-management lens. Cross-OS quadruples — DealOS × TradeOS × GovOS × CityOS — surface strategic + operational + regulatory + spatial views together.
