Ph.D scholar Peter Andreas Norn and member of the PPP cluster Urban Governance arranged a one-day conference on strategic city management at Copenhagen Business School on May 20.

Peter Andreas Norn is conducting an industrial Ph.D. project  with Realdania at the Department of Business and Politics. The theme of the workshop was how to improve the governance of cities and the way the cities approach the new strategic task. Academic director at the Public-Private Platform Carsten Greve spoke about the challenges of Public-Private partnerships (PPPs).

Peter Norn presented his thoughts and knowledge on how the governance perspective can be used in city management and how especially network governance can be seen as an approach.

Other presentations during the day were from two Danish city development projects and on the new proposed light railway project (“Letbanen i Ring 3”) which involves many local governments from Lyngby-Taarbæk to Ishøj south of Copenhagen. The participants of the workshop came from local governments and companies from all over Denmark. The participants got hands-on knowledge om how to approach strategic partnerships in city development.

The workshop aimed at providing each participant with an overview of the field, the opportunity to exchange experience and inspiration to bring back to their own projects.
