Ensuring a growing and vibrant economy is a priority for all orders of government in Canada, including municipalities. Over several decades, changes in the economy, such as the rise of globalization and the emergence of new disruptive technologies, have altered how governments approach economic development policy. The second report in the Who Does What series from the Institute on Municipal Finance and Governance (IMFG) and Urban Policy Lab focuses on the role of municipalities in encouraging business development, strengthening competitiveness, spurring innovation, and more. The three papers in this report identify where municipalities currently face constraints, how other orders of government can support municipalities, and where intergovernmental cooperation is needed.
