"Heavyweight international players from the OECD to Bloomberg Philanthropies
and the United Nations have in recent years prescribed “innovation” as a
solution for the many challenges city governments face.
Innovation is a notoriously slippery term. For city government it generally
involves deliberately questioning how things are done, leading to new and
hopefully better ways of working. Innovation is meant to help resolve the
world’s thorniest public policy challenges — from housing affordability to the
climate crisis — but also to make cities more liveable through more effective,
responsive and efficient city government.
But what do these innovations involve? Who do they involve? How do they work?
Indeed, do they work? And what are the implications for city government?
Our research team has investigated these questions in conversation with
practitioners from around the world. We present these conversations in a new
podcast mini-series."
