The Interactive Panel sessions will, collectively, provide an opportunity to: 1. Review the application of the 5 pillars of B2B as the foundation for developmental local government. 2. Identify and discuss those levers which can drive development: e.g.: strong foundations for B2B, plus: access to land, services and resources in a given space; local enablers for economic development investments and improved financial sustainability; managing urbanization and rural development programs; building resilient municipalities to manage disaster risKs; and mutual cooperation across intergovernmental and other staKeholders. 3. Debate the role of integrated planning in transforming the economy of space: how to better profile a municipality’s socio-economic status and opportunities, its typology, and the role of collaborative action in bringing together sectors and spheres to converge their plans in a municipal space. 3 Panel 1: Main Plenary, Hall 2 Moderator: SALGA President, Cllr Parks Tau: Intergovernmental and stakeholder roles and Panelists responsibilities towards radical social and economic transformation at local level 1.
