"Mr President, it is very important that we do talk about the urban redevelopment as a contribution to economic growth but I think we have missed an opportunity to talk about some of the very real issues and implications of looking towards urban development for economic growth.
Have we looked at some of the ideas from my own country, for example, where there is an accusation of a North-South divide? Are we looking at urban developments of certain towns at the expense of others? Are we also looking at urban development at the expense of rural development so people living in sparsely populated rural areas complain that the focus is all on urban development?
Why do we find yet another excuse to spend yet more taxpayers’ money without any real economic benefit? Surely the best way to promote economic growth and urban development is to pay off our debts. Surely the best way to promote economic development is to make sure we do not spend more money than we have coming in and surely the best way to promote economic growth is to create the right conditions for those people to invest in urban and rural developments for economic development."@en1
