Local and Regional Government knows that great changes and great challenges lie ahead. Modern cities and regions recognise that continued economic development depends upon a number of interlinked financial, social, cultural, environmental and community factors. It knows, too, that much will depend principally upon the quality of information, knowledge, intelligence and research, and on the development of the human, intellectual and social capital that will drive the engine of local success. Many cities and regions have addressed this situation by establishing alliances with centres of expertise that provide an observatory of changing times and changing needs.
