- 36. Conclusions • By internationalstandards Dublin is a medium sized or small city, ranked 77th out of 78 cities in terms of population by the OECD. • Dublin accounts for almost half of national GDP and its effective management and continued success is critical for the performance of the entire economy • Dublin and its commuter counties face increased pressures as urbanisation and migration towards the east coast continues • The Dublin region is expected to take a projected population increase of over 200,000 persons from 2010 to 2022 the Mid East has been apportioned 100,000 in the same period. Williams, B., Foley, W., Cudden, J. & Shahumyan, H.
- 37. Conclusions • Dublin hasthe critical mass of skills and workforce to attract international investment • Evidence base shows that Dublin has been resilient in certain sectors such as ICT and Finance, actually growing the numbers of enterprises notably in ICT. • Key areas such as transport, water and broadband infrastructure require future proofing to maintain the competitiveness of Dublin. • International benchmarks indicate a need to improve our performance in these areas to maintain competitiveness Williams, B., Foley, W., Cudden, J. & Shahumyan, H.

National Competitiveness Council "AsIreland’s only city of international scale, continued investment in Dublin is necessary to maintain and improve its position as an internationally competitive location.

- 39. Recommendations • A successionof ignored policy recommendations from the 1960’s on the form, funding and financing of local government.... • These reports generally support the interview opinion that local government should have greater levels of autonomy with the assigning of revenue generation powers to local government linked with expenditure responsibilities. • Common messages included continued potential of the city region, inadequate broadband, need for greater levels of collaboration, threat of congestion, brownfield regeneration, skill and language deficiencies and the challenge of maintaining competitiveness...... Williams, B., Foley, W., Cudden, J. & Shahumyan, H.
- 40. Recommendations • All thenational and international evidence demonstrates that: • It should be clearly recognised that Dublin is a unique case and national asset. • No room for complacency in this regards – the international competition is intense.... • If we maximise the capacity of Dublin we maximise the potential of the entire country. Targeted investment in key infrastructure is necessitated e.g. Water Williams, B., Foley, W., Cudden, J. & Shahumyan, H.
- 41. The Metropolitan Revolution Thebook argues that metro areas — or, cities and suburbs together — are powerful economic engines with considerable political influence, and that local leaders are more likely to take on the nation's big challenges than politicians in Washington. “The country’s 388 metropolitan areas are home to 84% of its population and generate 91% of national GDP” " ... Cities and metropolitan areas are really networks of leaders and institutions. They're very powerful on their own, but when they come together and they collaborate to compete, they can do grand things together.“ Video links: http://metrorevolution.org/videos/ Jamie Cudden – Activating Dublin Twitter: @jcudden
- 42. Role of government.... •The point of the metropolitan revolution is not that these so-called higher levels of government do not matter. Rather, the point is that they must act in service of their metropolitan engines. • Every metropolitan leader – and every national leader – must ask how national governments, local governments and other actors should interact to coproduce the economy. Waves of economic change have put cities and metros at the forefront. • Will national governments ignore these changes, or will they recognise that supporting metropolitan areas is the new imperative? • This is very relevant to Ireland…..so how does we respond to this to ensure that we maximise Dublin’s potential....(Activating Dublin model?)
