NDI POLICY BRIEF 1 – Designing innovative public services published

 

 

Contemporary challenges that ND area governments face are increasingly sophisticated and complex. This is due to the rapid development of technologies that blur the boundaries between the government and citizens, and because of societal changes such as ageing of the population and increasing immigration flows. The ND Future Forum on Culture* focused on the potential of creative and cultural cross-overs in producing public services that tackle societal challenges more effectively.

 

The Policy Brief based on the ND Future Forum on Culture is now available.
