This lecture argues that in todays very metropolitan world a key question is Can we make metropolitan management succeed in improving the lives of citizens? It demonstrates that past experience will be a poor guide to what is required for successful metropolitan Planning in the twenty first century. The nature of contemporary changes on metropolitan economy and society are explained in terms of two trends – globalisation and decentralisation – which are seen as world-wide and of structural significance. This explains why the context for metropolitan planning in the future will be radically different from that of the last 50 years. In conclusion the lecture attempts to answer the key question by framing it in a novel manner by asking – what are the essential minimum requirements for successful metropolitan planning in the future? It suggests that there are three and that already there are actual examples of them in practice among the World's, metropolitan areas. Without these new kinds of public policies evolved in new ways and accompanied new methods of implementation involving new participants there is little chance of successful metropolitan Planning in our global village.
