City management
City management (also city management or district management ) refers to regional management that is exclusively related to the area of a city . The term often occurs in connection with the implementation of city marketing and location marketing concepts.
In practice, city management is characterized by a strong restriction on the interests of inner-city actors in business logic. By recognizing urban complexity, an attempt is made to give indications of possible ways of dealing with the precarious future of urban space. The classic boundaries of urban planning, economics and sociology are overcome. The instrument of urban management plays an important, but not a central role.
The field of activity of city, city or district management is characterized by a heterogeneous structure, which makes it difficult to evaluate the new discipline too scientifically. The main problem is that there is no clear definition of the term and the professional field of city manager can be very diverse, as it can differ from city to city. What is clear, however, is that urban management is intended to combine economic and social aspects of spatial and urban planning , thereby facilitating a dialogue with the population and effective public relations work. Urban management thus plays an important role in the implementation of sustainable urban development.
City management often plays an important role in socially disadvantaged areas or in issues such as the integration of foreigners, minorities and socially marginalized groups.
