Open Lecture "Maximizing Public Wealth. How to Unlock Hidden Assets to Boost Growth and Prosperity"

Опис

Innovation requires cities with world class infrastructure. Instead, most cities face an impending investment disaster. Promising plans for city development and infrastructure are put aside due to fiscal constraints, and even the most basic repairs fall by the wayside. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. Managing public wealth is a way of boosting cities that have already led to remarkable success in some cities. The key is to unlock a city’s hidden economic wealth. A focus on public wealth shifts attention and resources from short-term spending to investments that can vastly raise the quality of life in the long run.
