The economy may be recovering, but it is fragile The urban threats from reduced public sector employment and reduced consumer spending are both serious and prolonged Pressure on welfare budgets also a major concern However professional services continues to have high potential for job creation Skills base and improvement in city infrastructures have increased the competitive offer (but also the running costs) Will niche industry return to cities, care for the elderly, environmental science and services, energy production? Sustainable growth and the environment – can cities unique strengths be harboured (or could policy hinder?). Will media city define Salford? The scale of the problem has presented a unique opportunity to make changes in governance and action, no longer ‘because we did it before’ Cities are expected to lead the way economically given the unique skills and expertise, but the global threats are real and any reduction in competiveness from local policy actions (or inaction) will have more impact than ever before 34 So what must ‘we’ do? Co-ordination in a new policy environment will be crucial, coming at a time of cuts and low confidence will require strong leadership and enlightened staff in public service Keeping staff motivated against back drop of cuts, job fears and little obvious career progression will be hard – not an easy environment for collaborative and innovative working A new era of policy action not policy statement, time for us all (including economists!) to raise their game You know area better than anyone else – use advice at key points, not all points! Don’t abandon things that have been working Get ‘out and about’, meet business, understand issues Young people very vulnerable (student placements, graduate recruitment etc) Preparing for the jobs ahead (skills, land, infrastructure) Not everywhere can do everything Write more flexible ‘modular’ strategies Accept compromises and reality of ‘new normal’ Tough times, but also a unique opportunity to redefine role and powers 35 Contact Details: Oxford Economics Lagan House Sackville Street Lisburn County Antrim BT27 4AB UK Tel: 028 9252 8240 Fax: 028 9267 0895 [email protected]
