Experimenting with governance | URBACT

Experimenting with governance | URBACT | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
Governance systems currently in place in much of the European Union were first developed in the 19th Century as the industrial revolution unfolded.  Some aspects have changed but often the essential form has remained the same. ‘Management’ as Manfred Weber first documented is bureaucratic and based on rules and procedures, which are systematised through reports, signatures and files. This written paper culture still informs the way of doing business in much of the public sector, even in countries where digital technologies are most advanced.

Hinkley Point: the ‘dreadful deal’ behind the world’s most expensive power plant

Hinkley Point: the ‘dreadful deal’ behind the world’s most expensive power plant | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
The long read: Building Britain’s first new nuclear reactor since 1995 will cost twice as much as the 2012 Olympics – and by the time it is finished, nuclear power could be a thing of the past. How could the government strike such a bad deal?
