Thanks you for the
answer and very interesting information.
Your visit to Novosibirsk was for us very useful.
After your departure we have prepared our further offers and we represent them
to you in the form of a brief information on our probable joint project focused
to Altai.
I direct to you a brief information on this project.
Probably, this information is useful to you at a writing of the report for Eurasia.

Project
name PUBLIC FORUM
Theme Capacity building in Good Urban
Governance: Recognising that transforming urban governance
requires more than training . Building a cadre of Ônew urban
governanceÕ politicians and professionals via the creation of a ÔPublic ForumÕ
as a platform for promoting urban governance discourses (both face-to face and
web-based), facilitating learning partnerships and for providing ongoing
management support.
Target
group Officials, politicians, academic
staff and students, urban professionals, citizens and the international
professional community

Project summary
This project is
aimed at strengthening the capacity for good urban governance in the Russian
Federation and in particular in the Siberian region. The key underlying
assumption of the project is that whilst good training programmes are a
necessary pre-condition for the transformation of urban governance, they are
not sufficient. Also crucial is building and sustaining a cadre of politicians,
officials , professionals and citizens committed to new urban governance. It is
hypothesized that the building of such a cadre can be achieved by helping
significant actors internalise, develop and critically apply new governance
ideas and practices. Such help it is proposed should take the form of an urban
communication platform ÔPublic ForumÕ which on the one hand promotes and
provides a basis for ongoing public and professional discourse and which on the
other hand provides a locus from which ongoing and Ôon-the-jobÕ management
support can be provided to politicians, officials and citizens.
It is proposed that the ÔPublic ForumÕ implemented in both a face-to-face (F2F)
and a web-based modalities, would serve as an interface between local, regional
and international professionals, urban administrators, academic staff and the
general public and provide them with proper access to information and
knowledge, increase opportunities for exchange of opinions, build partnerships
and learn from good practices in the field of urban management and Ôgood urban
governanceÕ. A focal
point of the information and knowledge component of the platform will be
creation of a web-based database on relevant best practices which can be
interfaced with similar databases elsewhere (like the UNCHS best-practice
website). The platform would also facilitate the provision of ongoing
Ôon-the-jobÕ management support (both web-based and F2F).
In summary, the proposed platform will have multiple functions:
á Serving as a vehicle for promoting
discourses and the development of a cadre of urban development actors who
"own" and who have internalised new approaches to urban governance.
á Serving as a base for the provision
of ongoing Ôon-the-jobÕ management support
á Providing a data and information base
á Promoting skills acquisition by
augmenting face-to-face training with on-line training courses
á Serving as a vehicle for identifying
and promoting commom interests locally
á Encouraging and soliciting innovative
thought
This proposal is an outcome of an ongoing project ÔInnovative Methods of Urban
GovernanceÕ (IMUG) realised by NSAEM and ISS (December 2001-March 2004).
During the IMUG project it became clear that despite the success of the project
there still exist a few objective limitations which could influence the
sustainability of its output: (1) present access to project deliverables is
limited compared to the ÔscaleÕ of the revealed needs in the region and
required further involvement of innovative IT technologies to reach a wider
audience; (2) emerging partnerships and coalitions are not yet sustainable and
need further assistance; (3) those, who during the IMUG project period started
to share the ideology of good urban governance are not sufficiently experienced
in practical application of their knowledge and need further guidance and
management support; (4) problems of a city often caused by inefficient
metropolitan management still persist: mending those, however, was not a scope
of the IMUG project. Accordingly, this proposal aims at creating
conditions which will sustain the results of the IMUG project and extend its
impact on urban integration and ongoing democratisation in the Russian
Federation and in Siberian region.
The proposed project will further facilitate the practical application of
principles of good urban governance in Russian metropolises and in particular
in the Siberian region: A combination of international experience, expertise
and knowledge about Russian conditions will be concentrated in the ÔPublic
ForumÕ and become accessible to urban practitioners, administrators and the
general public, as well as to international experts.
The title ÔPublic ForumÕ refers to a well-known earlier form of democratic governance,
originated from ancient Greece polises. The platform will help to involve
experts and representatives of non-governmental sectors in discussions about
the local situation, provide leadership and other skills, reduce the fragmented
and hierarchical character of present decision-making in the region, equalise
public access to information and increase co-ordination and integration of
different participants of urban development in the region.
