  1. INTELLIGENTDEVELOPMENT ALERT Kenneth E. Corey and Mark I. Wilson Urban & Regional Planning Program and Community & Economic Development Program (CEDP) Michigan State University APRIL 25, 2004

  2. Intelligent Development • Draws on contemporary research and theory • Aware of best planning practice • Investments in places and regions for wealth creation, higher wage employment and improved quality of life • Development planning, therefore, is “intelligent” when these best practices are influenced by appropriate theory, benchmarked and the latest science and technologies are utilized fully to develop a community and region holistically, equitably, and multifunctionally including amenity factors.

  3. Theory  Emerging Model Relations & Processes E-Business Spectrum Negotiation Among the Layers Definition of “Development” Scenario 1 – Distressed communities & E-Responsiveness Regions Scenario 2 – Life Cycle Model Scenario 3 – Learning Regions Space & Time Plummer & Taylor Review of Econ. Dev. Theories Composite Model Theory integration, measurement & benchmarking PPM and PM Waiting for the moment Multiple Layers Spatial Hierarchy

  4. Overview • Awareness • Layers • E-Business • Responsiveness • Talk • ALERT

  5. Awareness

  6. Knowledge Economy • An economy that relies increasingly on technology and knowledge as factors of production & wealth creation – in addition to labor & capital • Technology & knowledge are transforming wealth-creation work from physically-based functions to knowledge-based functions

  7. Michigan Planning and Development Regions

  8. Layers

  9. Hierarchy of Layers World Knowledge Regions Biotech/Pharma Specialization Tech Clusters: Brennan & Smart Zones Biosciences Firms Specialization Tertiary Education Empty Areas/New Areas/New Spaces Mediated by E-Responsive Regions Mediated by Spatial Distribution of Distressed Areas

  10. E-Business

  11. Relations & Processes The functions and factors that are characterized by clustering and spatial concentration are identified with a “C.” Those that are characterized by dispersion and spatial deconcentration are identified with a “D.”

  12. Responsiveness

  13. Responsiveness • Business • B2C • B2B • Layers (location of sales/employment) • Government • Online services • Layers (Federal, state, local) • Individuals • Internet access and use

  14. Talk!

  15. Implications • Scenarios for intelligent development • State/regions as passive or proactive? • Focus not only on success at advanced end of spectrum, but there is the need for benefits also to serve distressed areas of the state • Regional planners can engage in intelligent development to plan for more competitive sub-state planning regions in the global knowledge economy

  16. Scenario 1 Distressed Communities = Geography of Economic Distress + Geography of E-Responsiveness

  17. Development Defined A WIDELY PARTICIPATORY PROCESS OF SOCIAL CHANGE IN A SOCIETY INTENDED TO BRING ABOUT BOTH SOCIAL AND MATERIAL ADVANCEMENT (INCLUDING GREATER EQUALITY, FREEDOM, AND OTHER VALUED QUALITIES) FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE THROUGH THEIR GAINING GREATER CONTROL OVER THEIR ENVIRONMENT (EVERETT ROGERS, COMMUNICATION RESEARCH, 1976, P. 225)

  18. Scenario 2 Spreading the Benefits = Pre-Existing Potential Institutions + Planned Relationships

  19. Scenario 3 Human Resources Linkages = Education Institutions + Performance + Enterprise Culture + Smart Zones + Distressed Cities

  20. ALERT!

  21. Action • When You Leave Today: • Human Resources & Human Capital • Development of an Enterprise Culture • Private-Public Partnerships of Stakeholders: Leadership, Vision, Champion(s) • Change Mindsets & Governance of Leaders & Planners: Embed Intelligent Development into your Behavior !!!
