李偉先生／梁振英先生：
1. 美國之所以是一個偉大的國家，是因為兩個多世紀以來，不單是國力
http://www.brookings.edu/~/
5. These 10 traits have proven to be particularly strong determinants of a metro area’s ability to succeed in global markets, manage the negative consequences of globalization, and better secure its desired economic future. Denver, Colorado represents trait 1 — Leadership with a Worldview.
6. When local networks of business, civic, government, and philanthropic leaders come together around a common metro area vision lasting change can begin to take hold.
7. One only needs to visit the Denver region, as we will this week as part of the Global Cities Initiative, to see how Leadership with a Worldview—the first of 10 traits of globally fluent metro areas outlined in our upcoming report—has the greatest potential for building and sustaining a city’s global fluency.
8. Denver is not naturally positioned as a global city. Its inland location, hundreds of miles from a coast or international border, does not lend itself to international engagement. And a quarter century ago, following a national recession and an energy bust, Denver’s ability to compete in the global economy was very much in doubt. The region’s economic resurgence and increased global reach can be traced to its uniquely collaborative regional leadership; a story that offers three lessons for other metro leaders:
1) Know Yourself：All metros share the initial step on the path to global fluency: Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses that define their global position. Denver has been particularly intentional about measuring key drivers of its economy. The region’s economic development arm, the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, recently commissioned a study to identify the region’s most globally competitive industry clusters. Capitalizing on this information has helped the aerospace cluster grow significantly. Denver now ranks first among the nation’s top 50 metro areas in private aerospace employment.
2) Collaborate to Compete：A region’s worldview is rarely determined by a single actor, but rather networks of leaders across business, government, civil society, and philanthropy. Regional collaboration was instrumental in developing one of Denver’s key international assets: the Denver International Airport (DIA). As our colleagues Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley document in their new book, DIA was constructed only after Adams County allowed the City of Denver to annex the required land. And DIA’s new direct flights to Tokyo and Mexico City are the direct result of intensive efforts on the part of multiple stakeholders, including DIA, Metro Denver EDC, Mayor Michael Hancock, and regional business leaders.
3) See the World： Finally, an enlightened worldview can only evolve by seeing the world. Through trade missions led by the city, the state, or relevant trade organizations, both elected officials and business executives are able to visit markets abroad, see new trends, and form trading relationships that grow companies and jobs back home.
9. These lessons prove most valuable, even for Denver, if local leadership maintains a relevant worldview over time. While one generation of regional leadership may aggressively pursue international markets, the next may be content to manage with a more internal focus. At some point, a strong mayor or dynamic business leader may break with the path and set a new course, reinvigorating the effort. However, as Denver’s global story bears out, a collaborative local leadership network that endures beyond the tenure of individuals offers the best platform to “go global”.
1. Leadership with a Worldview - Local leadership networks with a global outlook have great potential for impact on the global fluency of a metro area.
2. Legacy of Global Orientation - Due to their location, size, and history, certain cities were naturally oriented toward global interaction at an early stage, giving them a first mover advantage
3. Specializations with Global Reach - Cities often establish their initial global position through a distinct economic specialization, leveraging it as a platform for diversification.
4. Adaptability to Global Dynamics - Cities that sustain their market positions are able to adjust to each new cycle of global change.
5. Culture of Knowledge and Innovation - In an increasingly knowledge-driven world, positive development in the global economy requires high levels of human capital to generate new ideas, methods, products, and technologies.
6. Opportunity and Appeal to the World - Metro areas that are appealing, open, and opportunity-rich serve as magnets for attracting people and firms from around the world.
7. International Connectivity - Global relevance requires global reach that efficiently connects people and goods to international markets through well-designed, modern infrastructure.
8. Ability to Secure Investment for Strategic Priorities - Attracting investment from a wide variety of domestic and international sources is decisive in enabling metro areas to effectively pursue new growth strategies.
9. Government as Global Enabler - Federal, state, and local governments have unique and complementary roles to play in enabling firms and metro areas to “go global.”
10. Compelling Global Identity - Cities must establish an appealing global identity and relevance in international markets not only to sell the city, but also to shape and build the region around a common purpose.

1. 美國之所以是一個偉大的國家，是因為兩個多世紀以來，不單是國力
2. 大約四個月前，美國布魯金斯學院(Brookings Institution)發表了一份發人深省的報告，規勸美國大
3. The Great Recession（０７／０８年金融海嘯之後） made clear that a narrow focus on domestic markets no longer works; to succeed economically, U.S. metro areas must engage globally. Global fluency allows a metropolitan area to maximize the benefits of globalization and minimize the negative consequences. The more globally fluent a metro area is, the smoother its trajectory into the globalized economy that is increasingly important for success and sustainability.
4. Swift global integration, the rapid expansion of a global consumer class,and the rise of urban areas as the engines of global economic growthhave ushered in a new era that demands more global engagement fromAmerica’s city and regional leaders. In an effort to spur and strengthen metropolitan global engagement, this paper presents 10 traits of globally fluent metro areas and their critical relationship to the competitiveness, productivity, and prosperity of cities and regions in the 21st century.
