LED in the urban context for Mayors Institute - EnglishNachman Shelef
Presented to the Israeli Mayors Institute on City Renewal Sep 2011
Abstract: After more than 50 years of massive investment in Local Economic Development (LED) worldwide, what has been learned regarding what works and what does not? If in the past economic development was focused on employment generation, today the accepted definitions of LED are much more intricate – they define the purpose of LED as achieving “quality of life for all” and the process as a collective effort of “public, business and non-governmental sector partners“. This sober view has developed over decades of huge but mostly fruitless investments in LED worldwide, in three waves, that where kicked off by the success of the Marshal Plan.
Have the lessons of the past been learned or do we keep investing in approaches that have failed in the past? Unfortunately not, we still see; Top down efforts by central government to lead LED programs, instead of a participatory approach, including all stakeholders and sectors, led by local government. A focus on outside big business transplant, instead of support of innovation, entrepreneurship and policies focused on the success of local businesses. Attempts to jumpstart and support LED over entire regions, instead of focusing on cities as the true engines of economic growth.
Why have the leading LED practitioners worldwide focused on cities and urban economic development over the last decade? Urbanization matters - economic growth and urbanization are bi-directionally causally connected - “no country in the industrial age has ever achieved significant economic growth without urbanization.”. 1.2 billion people living in the 40 mega-metro regions worldwide produce around 70% of world output and 85% of all innovations. 5 billion people living in 191 countries produce the rest. A resident of a mega-metro is 8 times as productive in goods, and 24 times as productive in innovations. Cities are engines of economic growth, they manufacture wealth. Why is this so?
Cities have natural economic advantages that include internal scale economies and external agglomeration economies. But poor city design can undermine these advantages and create barriers to economic development, whereas good city design can enhance these advantages. How can we leverage the natural economic advantages of cities with good city design? Compact mixed-use development that focuses on pedestrian and public transport access is key.
How does the urban economy develop? How can we jumpstart economic development, when it is missing, in Israeli cities? Viewing economic development in the context of a network of interrelated towns and cities clarifies that different types of towns and cities, within the network, require different approaches to LED. Great cities that generate more wealth than they consume require one approach for continued development. Towns and cities within the region of a great city require a second approach. Towns that are outside the region of a
The document discusses global value chains (GVCs) and challenges faced by developing countries in GVCs. It notes that maximum economic benefits in GVCs come from initial research/design and final marketing/sales stages, while middle manufacturing/assembly stages provide less value. Developing countries have a chance to participate in middle stages. However, a World Bank report warns that automation may reduce opportunities for labor-intensive manufacturing in developing countries. The document also discusses why returns to R&D investment decrease for poorer countries due to lack of complementary factors needed to effectively contribute to growth.
This document discusses China's telecommunications industry and the growth of indigenous manufacturers. It covers:

3) The important role of the Chinese government in policies that nurtured local manufacturers like Huawei and ZTE, which now compete globally.
The document summarizes the results of an ICT monitoring and evaluation survey conducted in Kenya. It provides an overview of the Kenyan ICT market size and spending trends. It also describes the structure of Kenya's ICT ecosystem, including challenges faced and opportunities. Additionally, it benchmarks key ICT indicators in Kenya against other countries and highlights findings from surveys on ICT skills availability and demand.
The document discusses how technology has disrupted industries by enabling new ways of doing business. It provides examples of how Encyclopedia Britannica and newspaper classified advertisements saw their markets shrink due to the rise of digital alternatives enabled by technologies like personal computers and the Internet. The role of IT has evolved from automating localized tasks to integrating functions, networks of businesses, and defining new business scopes. Dell and eBay are discussed as examples of how leveraging technologies like the Internet allowed new business models to transform industries through mass personalization, participation, reach and speed.
