Three transformations are occurring at present in OECD countries: (1) economic systems are undergoing structural adjustments, (2) the role of government with regard to the economy is being redefined, and (3) the relations among different levels of government as well as between public and private institutions are being revamped. The central question of this paper is what are the impacts of changing intergovernmental relations on planning and implementing urban economic development programmes. Appropriate initiatives necessarily involve a wide range of policies and institutions. The public efforts to confront local economic problems constitute the hub of activities of numerous governmental and quasigovernmental institutions.

Clear Statement

Assessing the role of government in economic development in situations where public and private sectors coexist is extremely difficult. The nature of modern government is so complex and its activities are so broad, that a clear statement of “influence” or “impact” on a national economy becomes almost impossible. Interpretations of Japanese economic history illustrate these problems vividly. Few scholars have dealt with the issue explicitly, and those that have seem unable to reach clear conclusions.

Ghana’s national economic transformation has been widely celebrated, but the role of its cities in this transformation is poorly understood. Typically, the contribution of cities in Ghana to the country’s transformation is seen as negative, or non-existent to negligible, at best. This characterization is quite common for cities in Africa for which The State of Africa Cities reports mostly brand as rural poverty-driven settlements. None of these claims, however, is based on a systemic analysis of urban economic development. It is this gap that the present chapter seeks to fill. By developing a particular spatial political economy approach and drawing on a wide range of data, this chapter argues that most urban residents are either born in cities or are attracted to them from the countryside, but urbanization cannot be explained as ‘poverty driven’, especially when rural poverty in the country has been falling and the urban economies of many cities are booming.

Consensual Approach

The role of town centre management (TCM) schemes in the UK has expanded to incorporate a more overt and explicit focus on marketing and promotion. This paper considers the marketing/promotional activities of TCM schemes in the UK. TCM schemes operate at the interface of the public and private sectors. The implications of this are discussed, including the need for a consensual approach by a wide range of urban stakeholders, and the actual activities undertaken, influenced by the funding imperative under which such schemes operate (which impacts on the feasibility of certain activities and the efforts made to evaluate them). Comparisons are drawn between specific place marketing practice by TCM schemes and wider place marketing strategies.

This thematic issue of <em>Urban Planning</em> brings together a collection of seven articles that explore and critically engage with contemporary issues with local economic development and connect with the broader fields of urban development and planning. The articles presented here provide a complementary mix of broader conceptualizations and research and narrower case-studies which draw from a range of geographies. Contributions include the development and application of a vulnerability and risk measures for economic prosperity; examinations of how urban planning and zoning are used as tools to address industrial decline and spur new forms of economic production; complementing investigations into the role of innovation within local economic development examining the role of public and private institutions as well as broad and targeted policy interventions; and the relationship between ‘big-tech,’ economic development and urban planning and governance.

Urban Economic Development

In recent years there has been a growing interest in the process of urban economic development and the role of housing markets in this process is as essential as it is obvious. In order to make progress towards providing answers to some of the important questions relating to the development of towns, it is necessary to try to obtain more precise information on trends in house prices, the level and structure of housing demand and the character of the supply side of the markets. Studies of local housing markets, however, have been constrained by the lack of reliable data on the most important variables and are, therefore, characteristically qualitative and descriptive. Our main objective, therefore, when embarking on the study described below, was to obtain reliable data on which to base analyses of local housing markets.

National Economies

The economies of many urban areas in advanced Western countries are experiencing serious pressures as a result of changes in international and national economies, in technology, and in the pattern of demand. The process by which urban areas respond to these changes frequently results in profound structural transformations of metropolitan economies, accompanied by serious economic and social dislocations. Increasingly, governments have found it necessary to respond to these changes. This paper is a summary of these developments and provides a context for the theme papers which follow.

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the role of public and private sectors in registering their plant variety under different categories as well as mapping the role of public, private and farmer’s right with reference to legal provisions. The graphical representation of data set of registered varieties (from 2009-2018) i.e. new, extant variety and farmer variety in a longitudinal way to analyze the participation of the public, private sector in registering the plant varieties. The finding of this study clearly indicates that during the initial year i.e. 2009-2012 not so many varieties got registered after that 2013-2018 specially in 2014 large varieties get registration in different categories. The finding gives a comparative viewpoint that initially in the year 2009 to 2012 public sector played a significant role in registration thereafter 2013-2018 private sector invest a lot specially in 2014 where large number of varieties register by farmers of Odisha with reference to their farmer’s right. This research gives a clear depiction to the private industries a positive trajectory of benefit of registering the variety of plant under the PPV & FR legislation. The Odisha case study enumerates the role of government and their public policies to encourage farmers to register their traditional variety and get benefit out of it
