Another city network dedicated to the dissemination of strategic planning is UCLG, with more than a thousand member cities. In a recently published guidebook, UCLG (2010) offers detailed recommendations for the implementation of strategic plans, and it seeks to influence institutions such as the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the International Monetary Fund, several UN organizations, as well as the Commission of the European Union, requesting them to "encourage strategic planning processes providing human, financial and technical resources primarily to small and medium sized cities" (p. 21).

LSE Cities is an international centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science that carries out research, education and outreach activities in London and abroad. Its mission is to study how people and cities interact in a rapidly urbanising world, focussing on how the design of cities impacts on society, culture and the environment.

Museum of the City of New York In the old photograph, a lonely farmhouse sits on a rocky hill, shaded by tall trees. The scene looks like rural Maine.
