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."
Professor Steve Schifferes presented a summary of his research into public trust in business journalism at a BBC Trust seminar on impartiality and economic reporting in November 2012.
Professor Schifferes' research shows that the public does not trust journalists to give a fair and balanced picture of the economic crisis, and thinks there is not enough information on how the crisis will affect the jobs and incomes of ordinary people.
The research was based on a poll conducted by ICM in November 2011 with a sample size of 2,000 adults.
Scale up summary presentation (ncub) july 4th 2016Sherry Coutu CBE
This document discusses the importance of scaling up companies for economic growth. It notes that the UK has fewer large companies than the US, resulting in lower productivity and growth. Scaling up companies is difficult due to skills gaps between what universities teach and what growing companies need. The document recommends improving collaboration between universities, schools and high-growth companies to close skills gaps and ensure students are exposed to scale-up businesses. If the UK improves its ability to scale up companies, it could gain £225 billion in economic growth over 20 years.
I am pleased to share with you this report that shows if we take action now to focus on ‘scale-ups’, we will secure significant growth in jobs, taxes and wealth, and the
competitive advantage of Britain for generations to come.
This report explains how a boost of just one per cent to our scale-up population should drive an additional 238,000 jobs and £38 billion to GVA within three years. In the
medium-term, assuming we address the skills-gap, we stand to benefit by £96 billion per annum and in the long-run, if we close the scale-up gap, then we stand to gain 150,000
net jobs and £225 billion additional GVA by 2034. This report sets out a clear plan of action to close the scale-up gap. The plan centres on using data already collected
by government to provide a platform that enables both public and private sector organisations to work together to improve the community of which they are a part.
Britain is a GREA T place to start a business.
With the supportive government policies, industry structure, geographic placement and talent supply we enjoy in the UK , we are in the position to create unrivalled national
competitive advantage by increasing the proportion of companies that ‘scale-up’.
A ‘scale-up’ is an enterprise with average annualised growth in employees or turnover greater than 20 per cent per annum over a three year period, and with more than 10 employees at the beginning of the observation period.
This competitive advantage will be rewarded by economic growth per capita. The responsibility to become ‘a scale-up nation’ – to create an environment (ecosystem) where a greater number of companies reach global scale – rests with all of us who have an interest in supporting economic growth. Rather than look only to the US for inspiration, this report examines successful collaborations between business and government that have taken place over the past 20 years in 20 other countries and recommends actions that we can take now. Individually and collectively, businesses, educators and policymakers can co-create a future that is bright for our children and their children: a place where both scale-ups and start-ups flourish, with plenty of jobs and growing GVA per capita.
Trends for corporate communicators in asia pacificDavid Brain
This document outlines 13 issues that will affect corporate communications and public affairs strategies in Asia Pacific:
1) Economic growth has increased government pressure on businesses to demonstrate social and environmental contributions.
2) Rapid growth of the middle class will drive demand for trusted brands, while inequality is increasing pressure for inclusion.
3) Communications must reach new cities and regions as wealth spreads across tiers.
4) Issues like regulation, food safety, and the environment now directly impact company revenues and reputation.
5) Stakeholder engagement and responsible practices will be increasingly important across sectors and markets.

1) Creating small-scale blowouts through eolian (wind-driven) activity may help revitalize deteriorated grey dunes by redistributing nutrients and rejuvenating soils over several decades.
2) Research on blowouts in the Netherlands found that both eolian activity and subsequent stabilization are needed, as eolian activity positively impacts the base chemistry and vegetation in the short term, while stabilization allows for soil and plant community development over 20-60 years.
3) The spatial and temporal effects of blowouts depend on factors like the size of the deflation zone, calcium carbonate content of the deflated sands, and amount of sand transported, with effects felt up to several tens of meters away

"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."

Economic development requires partnerships between the public and private sectors. Successful communities implement changes to address weaknesses and remain competitive in a global economy. Parker faces challenges like its location off major highways and relatively high land values that increased costs. However, communities can affect perception, promotion, productivity, public policy, and forming public-private partnerships to support business retention, expansion, and start-ups. Partnering with neighboring communities doing economic development well, like Castle Rock, may provide lessons to strengthen Parker's economy.

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.
Regions Charting New Directions: Metropolitan Business PlanningRWVentures
The document discusses a presentation on metropolitan business planning for the Milwaukee 7 regional economic development collaboration. It provides an overview of the drivers of the modern economy, including the importance of knowledge assets, human capital, and technology. It then analyzes key factors for metropolitan economic growth, including industry clusters, workforce skills, innovation capacity, and business dynamics in the Milwaukee region. Specific areas for further examination are identified, such as defining regional industry clusters, skills mismatches, barriers to business startups, and strengthening the commercialization of university research.
The South Bend presentation was delivered at the first ever South Bend Economic Summit, co-hosted by the Mayor of South Bend, and the heads of the Chamber of Commerce of St. Joseph County and the Corporate Partnership 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."
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 Neighborhood Taxonomy: New Tools for the Field RWVentures
This Power Point, prepared for the UMI Forum on “Connecting Communities”, includes a short background section on the Dynamic Neighborhood Taxonomy project and its initial findings, and then previews some of the new tools that the project is developing.
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.
Driving Regional Economic Growth: Opportunities for Cook CountyRWVentures
This presentation, delivered by Bob Weissbourd to the Economic Development Foundations Working Group of Cook County, provides an overview of how the different pieces of the economy fit together and how to understand them in the regional context. The bulk of the presentation specifically examines the Chicago region's economy and suggests ways in which Cook County might support economic development through actions in its own businesses, in its economic development programming and through new initiatives and partnerships.
City Vitals: How Do We Measure the Success of Cities?RWVentures
This short slide deck was created in response to a presentation by Joe Cortright at CEOs for Cities Fall 2011 Meeting concerning metrics of city vitality. Highlighting the importance of determining the right information resources for the particular purpose, the presentation compares the City Vitals framework with the Metropolitan Business Planning framework, and recommends factors of the regional economy for practitioners to think about.
Chicago TREND (Transforming Retail Economics of Neighborhood Development) combines innovative predictive analytics, deal brokering and financial products to support "retail on the leading edge" of emerging neighborhood markets. The new initiative - including partnerships with ICSC, Nielsen, Econsult Solutions and leading retailers and developers - aims to enable retailers, developers, investors and neighborhoods to better target particular types of retail to specific changing neighborhoods offering retail opportunity that will help drive the neighborhood change. The initiative is led by Lyneir Richardson. To discuss potential retail development and partnership opportunities, please contact him at lyneir@rw-ventures.com.

This Power Point, prepared for the Aspen Institute Roundtable and Funders' Exchange on Community Change, Poverty Reduction and Prosperity Promotion, presents a new framework for thinking about neighborhood change, as well as a new set of findings from the Dynamic Neighborhood Taxonomy project.
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.

Positioning Your Neighborhood for Economic DevelopmentRWVentures
This document outlines strategic development scenarios for redeveloping an underutilized site owned by the Casey Foundation in Atlanta. Four scenarios are presented: a regional distribution hub, a mixed white/blue collar business services hub, a blue-collar innovation hub, and a mixed-use food development. Tradeoffs of each are analyzed based on job creation, quality and accessibility; market viability; connectivity; and catalytic potential. Three scenarios - a mixed B2B hub, blue-collar innovation hub, and mixed-use food development - were prioritized. 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. Expenditures also need to be reduced through measures like cutting labor costs, implementing efficiencies through technology, and consolidating services. Both revenues and expenditures can be addressed through innovative strategies like public-private partnerships, tax reforms, and shared services between jurisdictions. Overall, municipal finance requires new collaborative and flexible models of "governance" rather than traditional "government" to adapt to today's dynamic economy.
Cities Charting New Directions: Metropolitan Business PlanningRWVentures
The Metropolitan Business Planning initiative, co-developed by The Brookings Institution and RW Ventures, continues to generate great interest at the local, state and federal levels. Bob Weissbourd has been presenting the concept and framework to audiences of public policy decision makers, as well as non-profit, civic and private-sector leaders both in the U.S. and abroad. Among the more recent presentations are the two below, prepared for the London School of Economics' City Reformers Group Workshop and the Brookings-hosted event, "Metropolitan Business Plans: A New Approach to Economic Growth."
"Metro-Economics": Towards a "Unified Field Theory"RWVentures
This presentation was delivered by Bob Weissbourd as part of the Portland Plan -- Inspiring Community Series. The speech begins to tie together the various pieces of economic development -- from neighborhoods to regions, equity to prosperity, human capital to clusters -- into a comprehensive, integrated, practical approach to metropolitan economic growth.
Prepared for the Chicago Federal Executive Board, this presentation assesses the nation's progress over the last 50 years and suggests a new framework for winning the "War on Poverty." Finding that welfare programs have significantly reduced absolute poverty but are inadequate to combat rapidly growing relative poverty, the presentation proposes a new market-based approach that leverages, rather than supplants, next economy markets to bring under-invested people and places back into the economic mainstream. The presentation concludes with principles for designing the federal government's role in this new effort.
Resume
On June 11-16, several important international events were organized and they are expected
to contribute to Ukraine's resilience and victory: URC2024, the G7 meeting, and the Global
Peace Summit.
According to the IER, real GDP growth slowed slightly to 3.5% yoy in May compared to 4.2%
yoy in April due to significant damage caused by russian attacks on electricity generation.
Restrictions on electricity supply to industry and the population continue: efficient consumption
and the installation of decentralized power generation capacities are a priority.
The Ukrainian Sea Corridor allows an increase in the exports of ores and metallurgical products.
Foreign aid was the lowest in May. However, already in June Ukraine should receive about
USD 4 bn in loans.
In May, as in the previous three months, consumer inflation was slightly above 3% (3.3% yoy).
In June, the NBU again reduced the discount rate – from 13.5% to 13% per annum.
The hryvnia exchange rate has surpassed UAH 40 per dollar due to the growing demand for
cash currency.

CRYPTOCURRENCY REVOLUTIONIZING THE FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE AND SHAPING THE FUTURE...itsfaizankhan091
Cryptocurrency, a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security, has revolutionized the financial landscape. Originating with Bitcoin's inception in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrencies have grown from niche curiosities to mainstream financial instruments, reshaping how we think about money, transactions, and the global economy.
The birth of Bitcoin marked the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and controlled by central banks, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology. This technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability of transactions, fundamentally challenging the centralized financial systems that have dominated for centuries.
Bitcoin was conceived as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, aimed at providing an alternative to the traditional banking system plagued by inefficiencies, high fees, and lack of transparency. The underlying blockchain technology, a distributed ledger maintained by a network of nodes, ensures that every transaction is recorded and cannot be altered, thus providing a secure and transparent financial system.

#### The Proliferation of Altcoins
Following Bitcoin's success, thousands of alternative cryptocurrencies, or altcoins, have emerged. Each of these altcoins aims to improve upon Bitcoin or serve specific purposes within the digital economy. Notable examples include Ethereum, which introduced smart contracts – self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement
