This document discusses key findings from CEOs for Cities about the drivers of the new economy and implications for urban policy. It makes several points:
1) National policy is essentially urban policy as cities are disproportionate drivers of economic output and new economic activity.
2) The economy is now global and regional in nature, so urban policy must consider these larger geographic scales.
3) An efficient regional economy uses all of its assets, including developing a knowledgeable workforce and reducing inequality.
It also examines how factors like education, functional specialization, and immigration contribute to economic growth and the need for cities to build on their unique strengths.
Delivered at the Winter meeting of the Mayor's Innovation Project, this presentation considers the questions that regions should answer in order to understand their unique opportunities for economic growth.

Positioning Your Neighborhood for Economic Development: Advanced TrainingRWVentures
Delivered by RW Ventures, Chicago TREND and the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, this pair of training sessions were designed to help communities pursuing retail, industrial land use, small business or other economic development projects think more strategically about how those efforts can align with and leverage other local development activities. The morning session used a case study from Columbus to illustrate how the viability of a retail project can be informed and enhanced by interrelated strategies to revitalize the surrounding neighborhood. The afternoon session used an industrial land redevelopment case study from Atlanta to explore how to connect regional industrial opportunities to neighborhood assets and development - sometimes referred to as "economic place-making."
"Originally developed as a two-day training for HUD Choice Neighborhood program grantees, this presentation was delivered to grantees from NeighborWorks America's Catalytic Grant Program. The training presents the rationale and structure of a new approach to comprehensive neighborhood economic development: ""neighborhood business planning."" After walking through the effects and implications of the transition to the knowledge economy, the presentation provides a framework for seeing neighborhoods as dynamic systems whose role in the economy is to develop and deploy assets (e.g., workers, businesses) into larger markets.
An overview of neighborhood types and their unique roles within regions follows, along with data on the typical trajectories of different neighborhood types. Sections on each of five market levers (human capital, clusters, innovation and entrepreneurship, urban growth form and governance) show how the development of neighborhood goals, market analysis, strategies and initiatives can create neighborhoods of opportunity in connection with their region. Local-facing issues like housing, retail and other amenities are examined in relation to their effect on creating neighborhoods of choice that certain populations are attracted to, influencing a neighborhood's type and trajectory. The presentation concludes with an overview of the most comprehensive application of neighborhood business planning to-date: the Greater Chatham Initiative."

The presentation then offers a framework for understanding neighborhoods as dynamic systems whose economic function is to develop and deploy their assets into larger markets.
Market-Based Development to Win the War on PovertyRWVentures
This document discusses the War on Poverty launched in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson and whether it achieved success. It launched nearly 200 pieces of legislation still in place today aimed at both relieving and curing poverty, as well as preventing it. While official poverty rates have declined, measures that account for taxes and transfers show poverty is high and rising relative to community standards. The war on poverty succeeded in keeping over 300 million people out of absolute poverty through social programs, but welfare alone is not sufficient and often creates dependency rather than solving the underlying market causes of poverty. There is a need to shift toward moving people and places back into the economic mainstream through market-based development.
Dynamic Neighborhoods: New Tools for Community and Economic DevelopmentRWVentures
This document discusses a neighborhood taxonomy project conducted by Living Cities and RW Ventures. It aims to develop a comprehensive neighborhood taxonomy and measurement of neighborhood change. The project measures change using a repeat sales index, examines overall patterns of change, and analyzes drivers of change. Key findings include: 1) neighborhood change is a gradual process but some neighborhoods experience substantial shifts; 2) regional effects account for about 35% of neighborhood changes; 3) the primary driver of change is the movement of people into neighborhoods with undervalued housing and good fundamentals.

Building on The Changing Dynamics of Urban America, this study examines the relative importance of economic and quality of life factors in attracting and retaining college-educated workers. The project, conducted with Christopher Berry, revealed that the dichotomy of "amenities versus jobs" that seems to dominate the current debate on the issue is misleading: the importance of human capital in today's economy means that both workers and firms are attracted to metropolitan areas with high concentrations of human capital, deployed in networks of knowledge-intensive industries, functions, and occupations.
This presentation provides a baseline assessment of the emerging practice of Inclusive Regional Economic Growth and an economic framework for identifying key challenges and opportunities for aligning growth and inclusion; highlights innovations and issues in the emerging practice; and offers observations about how to better coordinate and scale the practice.

A developer has been selected to create a final development scheme integrating priorities around jobs, sustainability, connectivity, and leadership.
Municipal Financing: Current Challenges and Opportunities RWVentures
Municipal governments face significant budget challenges due to outdated systems of governance and revenue structures that are not aligned with the current economy. Revenues have declined as the economy has shifted away from tax bases like property and sales taxes, leading to structural deficits.
