The New City Management
Dr. Robin Hambleton, Dean
College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs
University of Illinois at Chicago
Drawing on recent research on urban leadership and city management in Europe as well as the USA this lecture will examine some of the main challenges now confronting urban leaders. The forces of globalization as well as new pressures from citizens require leaders and managers to innovate as never before.
The lecture will consider the international shifts from government to governance and from public administration to public management. These exciting changes open up new opportunities for local politicians and officials. But the challenge is a demanding one. How can we marry approaches which bring about startling improvements in service delivery alongside measures which spur democratic renewal?
