Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University’s Post

In 2022, I enjoyed the privilege of being a student of Prof. Ricardo Hausmann and his team at Harvard Kennedy School and subsequently being invited back on for panel discussion with last year's "Leading Green Growth" cohort. The real ongoing value of the course are the amazing illustrative tools developed by Prof. Hausmann and the Harvard's Growth Lab team and used as part of the case studies in their programmes. In particular, Atlas of Economic Complexity and Metroverse, allowing me to build industry diversification cases based on solid long term data for both countries and cities across the world are very useful and I frequently use them for my work when developing large scale energy projects. If you work with a government or private organisation with ambitions to diversify economies and grown new industries - check out the tools here: Atlas of Economic Complexity (for countries) - https://lnkd.in/gJRbNYaU Metroverse (for cities) - https://lnkd.in/gX9stWpC

As we wake up to the news that “change begins now” we reflect on what that change means for #places and the Institute of Place Management The Manchester Metropolitan University. “How do we facilitate change with people? How does national government adapt to a role of facilitation; of enabling and empowerment with local place leaders?” https://lnkd.in/eCyt4TFk The Institute will be tackling these key questions, building on its history of world-leading research, working with its global network of scholars, policymakers and practitioners. Bring it on!

Huge changes, huge challenges, so what now for place ? “We need national government to develop and implement policy that tackles the ‘big issues’ – economic growth, sustainability, inequality, and we need local government, working in full collaboration with their communities, to make visible and meaningful change to places”, IPM.
