You’re Invited!

September 20 @ 5:30pm
Regional and Local Economic Development: A Global Perspective
Speaker: Cliff Hague
Past President, Royal Town Planning Institute
Emeritus Professor at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, U.K
A way of understanding different approaches to economic development will be presented, drawing on Regional and Local Economic Development, a new book by Hague, Hague and Breitbach. The form economic development takes is linked to the priority attached to different policy aims (e.g. economic efficiency or environmental sustainability) and to expectations about whether the market will deliver desired forms of development in particular locations. The different approaches can also be linked to different governance mechanisms and illustrated by examples from practice. In "hard times," when and where local economies are weak, and the capacity of governments to make an impact is also limited, there is a case for looking at less orthodox approaches. There are examples of these within the U.S., but this may be a field in which the global North can learn something from practices in the global South.
