“…In the UK, for example, Urban Development Corporations (UDCs) emerged in the early 1980s as a flagship policy mechanism for transforming deindustrialized spaces across British cities. There appear to be some parallels here (Danielzyk and Wood 1993). The UDC for London Docklands also involved a new unelected delivery agency that operated simultaneously inside and outside the state, though they had considerably more power than the IBA Planning Company.…”

“…23 Another networking project to improve support in consulting and vocational training in the Ruhr sought to "integrate scientific organizations, consulting institutions, chambers of industry and trade and consulting bureaux of the unions in a regional network of organizations" (The "PlaNet-Ruhr" project). Fürst and Kilper (1995) also describe the Land's creation of the IBA Planning Company (a quasiprivate Land agency) that creates "project groups" according to the logic of multilateral negotiating systems (see also Danielzyk and Wood 1993). In Baden-Württemberg, Fuchs and Wolf (1997) describe the creation of an "innovation network" to promote interactive video, the Interactive Video Services Stuttgart (IVSS) project.…”

The Networked Polity: Regional Development in Western Europe

Drawing together work in comparative politics, public administration, organization theory, and economic sociology, this article describes a distinctive form of modern polity-the "networked polity." In the networked polity, states are strongly embedded in society and pursue their objectives by operating through networks of societal associations. Both state agencies and societal associations take the form of "network" or "organic" organizations-decentralized, team-based organizations with strong lateral communication and coordination that crosses functional boundaries within and between organizations. These organizations are then linked together by means of cooperative exchange relationships around common projects. The role of the state is to empower stakeholders and facilitate cooperation among them. The concept is illustrated through an examination of regional development strategies in Western Europe.

“…The Ruhr itself forms part of the Land Northrhine-Westfalia (Nordrhein-Westfalen) which, in 1995, had population of some 17.8 million in an area of 34,100 square kilometres making it the largest German State and an important European region (Ache, 2000). Despite various attempts to reverse the decline since then (see Friedrichs, 1996), the region continues to be in a state of restructuring (Table 2) (Danielzyk & Wood, 1993;Friedrichs, 1996). Around this time the region experienced very rapid growth creating a string of diverse settlements from Duisburg in the south-west, Essen, Bochum and Dortmund, to Hamm in the east ( Figure 2).…”

“…Projects were developed by a wide range of bodies, including companies and pressure groups, but most work was actually carried out by the public sector (Kilper & Wood, 1995;Danielzyk & Wood, 1993;IBA, 1999). Over the past 10 years around 120 projects have been realized encompassing the six guideline areas described below.…”

“…Over the last 10 years investment has totalled some DM 5 billion, one third of which has come from private sources (see Danielzyk & Wood, 1993;IBA, 1999). This implies development that considers not only the usual economic and job creation factors, but also criteria such as society, the environment and culture.…”

The International Building Exhibition (IBA), Emscher Park was a 10 year programme of the Land Northrhine-Westfalia, Germany, between 1989 and1999. It was designed to initiate restructuring in the part of the Ruhr region, the Emscher, which has been suffering the most from economic, environmental and social decline for many decades. One of the Exhibition's principle features was that restructuring should take an holistic view rather than simply trying to attract inward investment and jobs. As a result the programme was based around a huge 80 km long landscape park. This report aims to introduce and critically assess the IBA, in relation to the principles of sustainability with some thoughts for the future. It begins by outlining what sustainability means for the Ruhr and Emscher regions, moving on to describe the unique nature of the Exhibition. It then considers whether or not the initiative adheres to sustainability principles and discusses the successes and failures. The report ends with a brief look at what can be learned from the exhibition, both within the region and outside.
