Driving Regional Economic Growth: Opportunities for Cook CountyRWVentures
This presentation, delivered by Bob Weissbourd to the Economic Development Foundations Working Group of Cook County, provides an overview of how the different pieces of the economy fit together and how to understand them in the regional context. The bulk of the presentation specifically examines the Chicago region's economy and suggests ways in which Cook County might support economic development through actions in its own businesses, in its economic development programming and through new initiatives and partnerships.
This document provides an overview of urban economics concepts covered across 10 lessons. It begins with an introduction to urban economics, discussing what the field addresses such as how prices influence living and work locations in cities. It also covers analytical concepts of centers and regions including central place theory and growth pole theory. Additionally, it discusses the economic basis for establishing urban centers and factors that determine industry locations. Other topics include urban decay and renewal, the role of municipal councils, major urban research problems, and the basis of urban planning. The document provides learning objectives for each lesson and suggested further readings.

Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics赵巍 Wei ZHAO
The document discusses perspectives on capitalism in China from sociological theorists. It analyzes China's economic transition and development through a sociological lens, examining the role of the state, market, and society. Some key points made include:
- China has developed a "socialist market economy" with the Communist party playing a major role in mobilizing resources and directing economic growth. This has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty.
- Sociological theorists like Weber, Parsons, Habermas, and Polanyi provide frameworks for understanding the relationship between the economic, political, and social spheres in China's system.
- The state acts as a collective entrepreneur, investing and accumulating capital to drive development while
Fluidity Economic System - Executive Summary 2015.v2Andrew Fynn
Fluidity is an economic system that uses credits to stimulate economic growth while pursuing sustainability goals. It works by differentially allocating credits to individuals, businesses, and organizations, and controlling where and how the credits can be spent. This steers economic behavior to improve environmental, social, and economic outcomes over time based on automated analysis. Fluidity acts as a hybrid with national currencies, using technology platforms to engineer transactions that stimulate GDP while transforming it into a more sustainable measure.
Gravitational Model to Predict the Megalopolis Mobility of the Center of MexicoIJAEMSJORNAL
Since 1950, Mexico has presented an accelerated migration process to the country’s capital, Mexico City. Here is where new settlements emerged increasing its population, and as a positive consequence, employment improved together with provisions. This growth occurred until the 1980s, when a conurbation happened with some municipalities of the State of Mexico, creating the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico. In the beginning of the 21st century, new challenges arose with the integration of more metropolitan areas in the states of Mexico (Valley of Toluca), Hidalgo, Morelos, Puebla, Tlaxcala and Queretaro. This document is the result of two extensive research projects that took place from 2008 to 2016, along with the population institutions of the states that were integrated. The objective was to demonstrate the existence of the Megalopolis and its operation, based on a socio-demographic model to understand its composition and characteristics. However, when limited to demographic variables, it was difficult to analyze its operation. Therefore, the Gravitational Model was designed to establish the great diversity of mobility relationships to account for the functional composition. Thus, the population mobility that commutes daily to the interior of the Megalopolis will be the fundamental factor to explain its operation.
1) Poverty in inner cities can be reduced by stimulating private sector investment and job creation within inner cities.
2) Research shows that inner city businesses that hire locally and invest in workforce development have lower turnover and higher productivity.
3) The organization's research aims to uncover barriers to capital investment in inner cities and identify policy solutions to reduce inner city poverty, such as maximizing local assets and infrastructure.

Abstract:
In 2050, the number of people living in cities will be almost as large as the world’s entire population today. That’s why we need completely new approaches to be taken in order to make our cities to be Smart City. Smart Cities gained importance as a means of making ICT enabled services and applications available to the citizens, and authorities that are part of a city’s system. It aims at increasing citizens’ quality of life, and improving the efficiency and quality of the services provided by governing entities and businesses. Smart City is a type of city that uses new technologies to make them more livable, functional, competitive and modern through the use of new technologies, the promotion of innovation and knowledge management. Cities today are facing significant challenges including increasing populations, infrastructures, and declining budgets.
Digital Banking: Reshaping the Business Model - Alba CéspedesAlba Cespedes
Digital banking is reshaping the traditional banking business model through new digital technologies and changing customer behaviors. Banks must transform by focusing on omnichannel strategies, creating value-added digital products, and maintaining customer relationships as interactions become more digital. While some regions like the UK and Scandinavia are more prepared for digital banking, adoption is happening unevenly across Europe. Banks that fully embrace digital transformation stand to significantly increase revenues and reduce costs.
The document discusses the role of foreign investment and globalization in the economic development of developing nations like Primaria. It argues that protectionist trade barriers can hinder economic growth in developing countries by constraining business development and competition. However, nations implement protectionist policies to boost local industries and trade. The document claims that foreign direct investment can significantly help the economic development of a country by creating jobs, increasing productivity, improving technology and infrastructure, and providing access to better products and trade opportunities. This in turn can help the overall economic growth of the nation.
Value that it can deliver to public procurement 5 eng-manuel-cannoManuel Caño
The document discusses how information technology can deliver value to public procurement. It begins by describing the social and economic context where digitization is increasingly important. It then discusses three platforms of IT usage: 1) knowledge, 2) process efficiency and data, and 3) value generation through cloud, mobile, social, and big data. Public procurement currently uses the first platform through databases and document management, but should transition to the second platform using automated workflows and electronic dossiers. In the future, it could utilize the third platform to professionalize procurement and generate more value through data-driven insights. Key challenges to achieving value include organizational change management and ensuring the benefits of IT investments.
Value that it can deliver to public procurement 5 eng-manuel-cannoManuel Caño
The document discusses how information technology can deliver value in public procurement. It notes that:
1) The social and economic context is rapidly changing and becoming more digital, requiring public sector services to adapt.
2) While IT has been underutilized in public procurement so far, the new EU directives mandate electronic processes which could generate value through transparency, efficiency and competition if properly implemented.
3) Realizing this value depends on ensuring procurement staff have the right skills and competencies for the digital economy, in addition to their expertise in administrative law. Technology alone does not guarantee value; organizational change and developing people is also needed.
The document discusses smart cities, providing definitions and examples. It notes that smart cities aim to use technology and data to improve infrastructure, mobility, energy, and other services. India's smart city plan is part of a larger initiative to create industrial corridors between major cities and redevelop areas along the corridors as smart cities. Public-private partnerships with technology companies and foreign governments will be important for funding and implementing smart city projects across India.
Smart Cities - Why they're not working for us yet.Rick Robinson
My presentation to the April 2016 Eurocities Knowledge Sharing Forum in Rennes. My focus was on describing Smart Cities as an economic and political challenge; and exploring the policy mechanisms that could be used to incentivise private sector investments in business and technology to support local social, economic and environmental outcomes. Further description and supporting evidence for these ideas can be found at https://theurbantechnologist.com/2016/02/01/why-smart-cities-still-arent-working-for-us-after-20-years-and-how-we-can-fix-them/
The document discusses smart and sustainable urban development. It proposes the Global Smart Eco City initiative, which promotes a holistic approach to urban planning that integrates digital technologies, environmental solutions, and social innovations. The goal is to address cities' social, economic, and environmental challenges in a comprehensive way. It also discusses China's plan to invest in 100 smart and green pilot cities to test strategies for providing more efficient social services to residents.
Towards a More Realistic View of Household Decisions
ING is stepping up its research into consumer economics, taking a more multi-disciplinary approach, which draws on insights from psychology and sociology. Our ambition is to improve our understanding of economic behaviour and our forecasting abilities. This will in turn help us to give more support to ING’s customer-centric purpose of “empowering people to stay a step ahead in life and in business”.
The launch of the Think Forward Initiative embodies ING’s intensified efforts to better understand how and why people make financial choices. The aim is to use the lessons learned to inspire action. This is the first in a series of reports forming
part of the contribution of ING’s economists to this collaborative effort. We invite readers to join the debate.

The document discusses the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in smart city governance. It presents a "Smart City House" model that depicts the process of turning a city's technological infrastructure into value for society. The model shows that ICT alone does not create value; it is an input that when combined with other factors like public policy and stakeholder needs can produce outputs like economic growth and quality of life. For a city to be truly "smart" it must learn to balance individual and collective needs through participatory governance approaches supported by ICT.
The document discusses the concept and pillars of smart cities. It provides context on the need for smart cities due to increasing urbanization globally and in developing countries specifically. The document defines smart cities as urban centers that use technology and data to improve infrastructure, services, and quality of life. It outlines the key pillars of smart cities as institutional, physical, social, and economic infrastructure with the goal of benefiting citizens. Case studies of smart city developments in Rio de Janeiro and Dholera, India are also presented.

The document discusses Barcelona's strategy to become a smart city from 2011-2014 under Mayor Xavier Trias. It aimed to reinforce Barcelona's brand as a promoter of a new urban services economy and technology-driven innovation to tackle socioeconomic challenges. While technology was central to Barcelona's modernization, the strategy evolved from e-government to a more inclusive, productive and community-oriented "smart city 5.0" model. The strategy launched new projects in areas like mobility, energy and open data, though links between projects were not always explicit. It helped reinvent Barcelona's economy but also increased housing costs for some residents. Barcelona is still considered one of the world's leading smart cities.
“Amidst Tempered Optimism” Main economic trends in May 2024 based on the results of the New Monthly Enterprises Survey, #NRES
On 12 June 2024 the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) held an online event “Economic Trends from a Business Perspective (May 2024)”.
During the event, the results of the 25-th monthly survey of business executives “Ukrainian Business during the war”, which was conducted in May 2024, were presented.
The field stage of the 25-th wave lasted from May 20 to May 31, 2024. In May, 532 companies were surveyed.
The enterprise managers compared the work results in May 2024 with April, assessed the indicators at the time of the survey (May 2024), and gave forecasts for the next two, three, or six months, depending on the question. In certain issues (where indicated), the work results were compared with the pre-war period (before February 24, 2022).

An enhanced democracy, guarantor of a fair smart economy

centuries ago, when communication and transportation
tools were slow & inefficient. The need to have a physical
representative in an assembly to represent one part of a
geographical population was a natural way considering the
accessible technology.
Traditional Assembly E-Crowd Assembly
n Today, thanks to digital & blockchain technologies, each
citizens could be a political, by given his/her direct opinion
via e-democracy tool.
n In France, considering the 21th century technology, the
assembly could be a 50 million representatives digital
assembly. The traditional physical assembly is no more
relevant.
