demographics, economic base,

and in turn they vary in their
priorities and the current and
future needs of their inhabitants
and visitors. No single plan will

and new... best plans emerge
from solutions that address the special characteristics and
needs of the city, as well as its
ability prosper economically
and socially and stay at the
forefront in the evolving worldwide
knowledge economy.
