Contents 1. Introduction -- 2. Case study 1: Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC) -- 3. Case study 2: Innovative urban resettlement in Kuala Lumpur : a case study of Kampung Abdullah Hukum -- 4. Case study 3: Innovation initiative in city governance : establishment of One Stop Centre (OSC) in City Hall of Kuala Lumpur -- 5. What can we learn from the case studies?
Summary The three case studies underscore the importance of openness towards new approaches; political commitment; sustained leadership; competency in integration, negotiation and forging trust; and constant monitoring and evaluation. A consistent theme emerging from the three case studies is the importance of leadership particularly at the city authority. Without such leadership, the innovations that are described in this book will not have been developed in the first place
