Today’s discussions focus on the importance of good governance for inclusive and sustainable growth. This is a vast topic – as can be seen from the diversity of issues to be covered in the Ministerial labs later this morning – so I’d like to focus on two key areas: the role of regulation; and the imperative to shape a new vision for the public service.

Today we are living in the “Metropolitan Century”. By 2100, around 9 billion people will live in cities, compared to just 1 billion in 1950.
