Leadership imperatives for each type of city Established World Cities Emerging World Cities New World Cities Population Maintain population growth from international in-migration. Implement a more managed approach to population growth and to rural migration. Build an alliance around talent attraction. Housing Boost new supply in housing markets and confront NIMBY-ist tendencies. Provide attractive entry level housing efficiently and quickly enough. Monitor housing range and affordability to suit under 35s. Inequality Address challenges of urban under-class. Tackle polarisation of income and service access. Ensure a strong focus on inclusive growth via skills development and mixed-use housing. Sustainability Tackle climate change adaptation and resilience. Reduce vulnerability to climate change, flooding, earthquakes. Active leadership on energy efficiency and mix, low pollution, green economy, resilience. Land Undertake big redevelopment efforts to shift from old to new modes and recycle land effectively. Rationalise land use and spatial governance to achieve coherent urban and metropolitan forms. Agreed spatial strategy managed by lead agency. Ensure projects are investment ready. Business framework Maintain competitive business climate and tax regime and IP environment. Improve productivity and business climate, especially legal and regulatory framework. Focus on transparency and confidence. Improve information and co-ordination. Foster start-up growth. 14 14

The Tactics of Densification Regeneration of disused sites (e.g. London Kings Cross) Intensification of transport interchanges (e.g. Warszawa Zachodnia station) Redevelopment of existing buildings (e.g. Dresden s Prager Zeile) Different sites for densification Building higher in city centres (e.g. Birmingham Enterprise Zone) Suburban infill and expansion (e.g. Vallingby in Stockholm) Land reclamations and manmade peninsulas (e.g. Atakoy, Istanbul) 34

Real Estate Owners and Operators Adopt service provider mindset. Prepare for continuous adaptation Align interests and build transparency between owners and users Provide hands-on stewardship Learn from customised environments Real Estate Investors Look to second districts in established cities as well as second cities. Understand innovation districts and their underpinnings. Redefine and build more core assets. Focus on total values and revenues, rather than rental multiples. Invest in the eco-system and enterprises, not just the RE. Cities Adopt innovation economy intelligence. Organise around anchor institutions and assets Consider total needs of innovation districts Put flexibility into land use planning. Support transition to new business models for operators.
