Networks of (leading cities)

“In our interdependent 21st century world, nation states and international organizations are finding it ever more difficult to respond to the global challenges facing humanity, from climate change and immigration, to terrorism and pandemic disease, from spreading inequality and global markets to new technology and religious conflict. At the same time, cities are demonstrating a remarkable capacity to govern themselves democratically and efficiently, both locally and, in networks, globally. We believe it is not only their responsibility, but their right to do so, and it is for this reason that we are convening the Global Parliament of Mayors – a new beacon for global governance on climate change and other critical issues in what is becoming a year of extraordinary promise and a season of hope for humankind.” http://www.globalparliamentofmayors.org/#/jobs/4590111039

(How) can cities take the lead?

interactions of multiple actors”

Democratic Network Governance

”As such, the idea of the sovereign state governing society top down through comprehensive planning, programmed action and detailed regulations is losing its grip, and is being replaced by new ideas about a pluricentric governance based on interdependence, negotiation, and trust.”

Sørensen & Torfing 2008: 3

• At the #People’s Meeting 2015, we as #CITYzens shall not only talk about the healthy city, but together with experts and stakeholders from the public and private sectors and from civil society, we shall as #CITYzens"work with a specific challenge in a #LivingCityLab and start a network to develop visions of a "liveable" city. A city which not only tourists enjoy – but for also its #CITYzens, i.e.. all of us who work and live in our cities.

#SundBySundhed #HealthyCityHealth

• We have invited stakeholders from the public and private sectors and he civil society – and hereby kindly invite you as #CITYzens who would like to work actively in such a solution-oriented laboratory. Come and share your ideas and visions with managers and administrators from the public (local and regional) and private sector (companies, entrepreneurs, start ups) with urban planners, architects, politicians, people from various initiatives and NGOs, grassroots, cyclists, pedestrians, polar swimmers, sportsmen and -women, sick and healthy people, Danish and others, young and old.

SundBySundhed #HealthyCityHealth
