Key Conference Highlights
The impact of globalisation on city management is being increasingly felt on a daily basis. The cities that succeed in this perpetually changing global arena are those that develop people who can lead and implement management strategies across borders, cultures and a host of logistical and legal complexities.
Faced with limited funding, cities, municipalities and districts have developed a range of community- grown strategies for expanding the resources available for affordable city development.
The conference will disseminate the Toolkit as part of the campaign for Good Governance materials and encourage its adaption to country specific contexts. Exhibitions stands with Specific Municipality Management Perks and Solution driven tools for City Investments and finances will be on show throughout the conference, highlighting city management global trends. This Conference aims to address the many interrelated aspects of the urban environment from transport and mobility to social exclusion and crime prevention. The meeting will build on the contributions made in previous conferences, which successfully managed to provide an international view of the problems facing modern cities and their solutions.
