Keeping an eye on the big picture, learning from others and sharing expertise become more important in these changing times. And these are the reasons why The Work Foundation is launching the Ideopolis City Leaders Network
The forum is a unique opportunity to meet and share ideas on an informal basis with other city leaders and experts in their field. We provoke interesting and forward thinking discussion on the cities agenda and we keep members updated through short briefings, events and written outputs.
Members will have the opportunity to shape the agenda and to contribute to events and outputs.
What is included in network membership?
Between October 2008 and September 2009, the network will be offering:
- Five events on key issues affecting cities.
We would also be keen for members to participate as speakers, for example giving a presentation on how you transformed your city centre.
Short papers or bespoke quantitative analysis on hot topics will
be pre-released to network members before publication. For
example, an update on which areas are increasing their
knowledge based businesses at the fastest rate and how this
links to other economic indicators.
Including event write-ups, highlights of external research
publications and responses to public policy announcements.
- A complimentary place at the 2009 Ideopolis Conference
- Access to a growing case study database of best practice by UK and international cities
- Access to The Work Foundation’s Ideopolis Team
