Place-based Leadership and the Inclusive City
Main Idea
Cities are not victims of globalization, they can shape their own future through place-based leadership.
This approach promotes inclusive cities, where local decisions are guided by social justice, sustainability, and democratic participation.
The inclusive city
Governed by strong local democratic institutions.
All citizens can participate fully in society.
Focuses on equity and environmental care rather than economic growth.
It’s a utopian vision, but a necessary one to inspire real change.
Key Pillars of Place-based Leadership
Place
We must “see like a city” instead of “seeing like a state.”
Public policy should focus on local needs and identities.
Leadership
Should be collaborative, inclusive, and emotionally intelligent.
Involves politicians, professionals, businesses, and communities.
Innovation
Not just improving services, but rethinking how cities are governed.
True innovation emerges from co-creation between leaders and citizens.
The New Civic Leadership Model
Four types of leadership:
Political (local government)
Professional (public servants, experts)
Business (private sector leaders)
Community (citizens, NGOs, local activists)
Engaged Scholarship and Innovation Stories
Encourages collaboration between academia and practice.
Innovation Stories are short, real-life examples of cities applying place-based leadership.
They promote learning and inspiration across cities worldwide.
