Odense Charter 2012: Om politisk lederskab og nordisk byudvikling
Med konferencen i Odense har Nordic City Network fået sit eget hovedcharter med uddybende bilag, der beskriver de 5 fælles spor for udviklingen af de nordiske byer. Det er ikke et forpligtende charter - ikke et slutdokument. Derimod et forsøg på at beskrive fælles pejlemærker for både den udvikling, man arbejder med i de enkelte medlemsbyer og for den dialog, der kan finde sted i de kommende år i netværket.
NCN Material: Den 19.-20. januar 2012 hölls en konferens i Lillestrøm med titeln "Topmøde i NCN Dialogforum, Lederskab og byudvikling i nordiske byer mod 2020", som havde deltagelse af mange politikere og tjenestemænd fra medlemsbyerne.
På dagsordnen var temaet 'politisk lederskab og byudvikling i nordiske byer'. De fleste borgere vil i fremtiden bo i byer. Byudvikling vil være en drivkraft for velfærdssamfundets udvikling. Velfungerende, attraktive og innovative byer er en vigtig politisk ledelsesopgave.
Topmødets drøftelser er blevet sammenfattet i et Charter om politisk lederskab i nordiske byer. Alt dette kan man læse mere om i hvidbogen.
NCN Material; In August 2011, Nordic City Network, gathered in Tromsø for aseminar regarding"The Network City" (Netværksbyen).

The task in the modern knowledge city is not only to engage different sectors, but to strengthen the interaction between traditionally separated sectors such as business, education/research, culture and politics.
NCN Material; Here is the Nordic City Network Paper in English.
The paper is an addition to Planering i Malmö, information from Malmö City Planning Office.
NCN Material; Nordic City Network is moving on towards the next step and wishes to put urban development onto the political agenda.

Wikinomics: how mass collaboration changes everything
Don Tapscott, Anthony D. Williams. 2006.
Today, encyclopedias, jetliners, operating systems, mutual funds, and many other items are being created by teams numbering in the thousands or even millions. While some leaders fear the heaving growth of these massive online communities, Wikinomics proves this fear is folly. Smart firms can harness collective capability and genius to spur innovation, growth, and success.
