The work summarized in this report fills
a knowledge gap by contributing to an improved understanding
of the links between competitiveness and pollution.
Specifically, it argues that pollution need not be an
inevitable consequence of development. Indeed, there are
examples of cities that have been able to manage pollution
while transitioning through different development stages.
Recognizing, however, that policy makers are often grappling
with how to negotiate this balance, the report also provides
policy makers with options to strengthen competitiveness in
their cities while mitigating the negative effects of
pollution. This report summarizes the findings of the
Pollution Management and the Making of Prosperous Cities
Program, which had a three part objective: (i) to generate
information and knowledge that will be helpful to mayors and
other city and national level decision makers in urban
planning and economic competitiveness; (ii) to increase
understanding and capacity among pollution related
decisionmakers; and (iii) produce outputs and tools to
support policy makers in managing both pollution and
competitiveness. In order to build a knowledge base around
the links between competitiveness and pollution, and provide
policymakers with useful tools for decision making, this
work uses new empirical evidence, city case studies, and
international best practices. |
