St. Paul mayor pushes new approach to development

Newly sworn-in St. Paul, Minn., Mayor Chris Coleman wants developers to show more respect for the desire of the communities in which they will build. In a departure from the policy of former mayors who encouraged aggressive growth that often surprised community activists, Coleman is saying no to projects that don’t match the “community vision,” according to the Pioneer Press. http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/local/14540373.htm

It’s all about "connectivity" – the connection between government and its citizens, and the real and perceived benefits that arise from that. Governments manage more effectively and efficiently through greater public input and feedback.
