Why the Vilnius E Governance Workshop ?
• Manufacturing falling as core economy • Electronic and information services rising• Trade liberalization and structural reform• Services become tradeables• Not capital intensive like heavy industries• Physical masterplanning were old vision;
new must be strategic
Cities in Global Trade• Cities rise as centers of regions as
national boundaries fade• Velocity of transactions increases with
globalized networks, new shifts in comparative advantage
• European cities moving much more to soft issues in competitiveness struggle
• Zero sum game expands (elasticity of demand increases with growth-- tourism, cultural specialization)
• What is sustainable ?

Part V: Lessons and Learning How to Learn
• at least start with basic tools and techniques of management-- redouble efforts in stock and trade of conventional ID
• support a horizontal learning process among leaders-- e.g., associations of local governments, other networks, conferences, study tours
Lessons• Cities transmitting ideas to each
other• They operate in a more competitive
and more transparent world• They compete for good ideas• They need to sharpen their
identities and acquire greater coherence of resources
Lessons– Assistance Modalities
• incubators-- hedge risks with a center for change, university or private research group
• fellowships for young leaders• grant program and jury• conventional project support,
e.g., municipal development funds
• Deepen participatory techniques to improve understanding, buy-in
• communications and public education-- improving the quality of the message (Madison Ave $175 b industry)
• systematic evaluation-- a role for donors and NGOs
• dissemination of experience-- publish, conferences, exchange networks, Assocs of LG
V. City in Century 21• Learning city is the sustainable city• Cities with local identities, regional
resources, global reach• Clusters of cities and regions
– European model, political boundaries down, cultural and economic up
• Global cities linked by more than “e”– trade alliances, tourism rings,
associations of regional powers
