A radical rethinking of the National Spatial Strategy is also necessary to ensure a cohesive development of the island of Ireland. The continuation of peace process in recent years has benefited both sides of the border in various ways. To strengthen and reinforce these benefits, especially from an economic perspective, both governments should move towards developing a cohesive All Island spatial strategy. Addressing this objective should go far beyond the identification of cross-border linkages. After all, the Dublin – Belfast corridor, is a widely known cross-border region and often compared to others, such as Øresund Region or Alpine Diamond, however, it is a cross-border region that is yet to be recognised by appropriate spatial policy provisions. Almost all participants recognised leadership, vision and collaboration as the main ingredients of the future success of their territories. An interesting observation, made by the study team, was the increasing role of the private sector and especially business communities, often represented by Chambers of Commerce, in providing vision and leadership. However, without the involvement of other sectors such visions can be seen as ‘tainted’; therefore, there is a strong need for collaboration of all stakeholders in thinking, planning and acting for the future of their territories to ensure a broad ownership of visions and strategies that would lead to their implementation. And, finally, the strongest message coming from this study is a fundamental need for the reform of the current local and regional governance system. Without that, the gateways and the other territories will not be able effectively prepare for their future. A strong need has surfaced for a tier of regional administration that would fill the existing gap between the remit of the central government and the city and county councils. It is proposed that such structures will be citynamed 7 and based, and would be responsible for providing strategic vision, planning and implementation at a regional level. They would have executive powers and adequate funding and be accountable to the public. This would address some of the administrative boundary constraints that several gateways are facing. The review of the governance system should also create space for effective collaboration of stakeholders and meaningful citizens’ involvement. And ultimately, it should promote long-term thinking, discussion and planning for the future. 7 For example: Limerick City Regional Authority or Cork City Regional Authority etc. 142
