Abstract

The paradigm change that this essay calls for requires new professionals and a new educational approach. In traditional bureaucracies, planning methods are to be substituted (or at least integrated) with innovation. A higher education program is presented in the chapter, which is designed to readdress public administration policies along the lines identified in this book.

This chapter is partly drawn from the project of the International Master in Sustainable Urban Management, which I wrote for Libera Università IULM, Milan (Italy).
