Local Economic Development and the New Urban Agenda The starting point will be the competitive cities framework and then presenting the case study. The idea is then to drill down on action areas and we could pick Land Value Capture/urban regeneration for further elaboration of various tools that are available. After presenting a broad framework and one or two examples of tool, the key point is that we need data and analytics for applying tools and frameworks and we could then focus on city economic performance. Guiding Questions · What is the functional definition of a competitive city? · How can land Value Capture foster local competitiveness? · How can urban regeneration foster competiveness? · What are the analytical foundations for measuring and monitoring competiveness?
