7. The scenario: “What if … the cities

8. The scenario: “What if … the
cities would rule the world?”
IMAGINE … 40 years ahead:
Government decentralized
Cities are mega-corridors, spanning
borders,
Interdependencies

11. Group discussion
How can cities lead in to a future of
a sustainable and livable world?
What are the challenges for the
future (cities)?
Why cities as frontrunners?

12. Why cities as frontrunners?
Rising urbanization + New urban
challenges:
New urban governances
Citizens involvement
Economical and ecological crises
Territorial competitiveness
Need for creative solutions:
policies + urban projects+innovation

14. Networks of (leading cities)

15. “In our interdependent 21st century world, nation states and
international organizations are finding it ever more difficult to
respond to the global challenges facing humanity, from climate
change and immigration, to terrorism and pandemic disease,
from spreading inequality and global markets to new technology
and religious conflict.
At the same time, cities are demonstrating a remarkable capacity
to govern themselves democratically and efficiently, both locally
and, in networks, globally. We believe it is not only their
responsibility, but their right to do so, and it is for this reason that
we are convening the Global Parliament of Mayors – a new
beacon for global governance on climate change and other
critical issues in what is becoming a year of extraordinary
promise and a season of hope for humankind.”

16. (How) can cities take the lead?
”leadership is conceived of a collective
as social process merging through the
interactions of multiple actors”
> Uhl-Bien 2006

17. Leading a city?
Leadership
Participative
Collective
Collaborative
Shared
Democratic
-> Distributed
consensual governance
(New) Urban governance (John & Cole 2008)

18. Leadership roles in New Urban
Governance
Typology
Consensual
facilitator
visionary
caretaker City boss
Power to
Power over
responsive
directive
>>John & Cole 2008

19. Democratic Network Governance
”As such, the idea of the sovereign state
governing society top down through
comprehensive planning, programmed action
and detailed regulations is losing its grip, and is
being replaced by new ideas about a
pluricentric governance based on
interdependence, negotiation, and trust.”
Sørensen & Torfing 2008: 3
