The survey asked questions regarding sustainability initiatives that have been undertaken by local governments. Over 2,000 local governments responded to the survey. The survey was developed by ICMA’s Center for Sustainable Communities, the Center for Urban Innovation at Arizona State University, the Arizona State University’s Global Institute of Sustainability, and the Alliance for Innovation.

What Does a 21st Century Government Look Like?

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008 - 14:28

Senator Obama says we need to move from a 20th century government to a 21st century government. Like Senator McCain, he is calling for a program-by-program review of the existing government. But neither of them paint a picture of what a 21st century government might look like.

An excellent example of a large effort that uses collaborative governance is the organization that handles wild fire and forest fire. I believe in collaborative governance because I have used it on a smaller scale in reinvention labs that are still alive and well and constantly changing. A word of caution: the lines of busines -- if they are internal to an organization -- have been known to become electronic stove pipes.
