In its first couple of years, BR&E plan seems to be working effectively. The manufacturing firm, and its 800 jobs, has remained in your city. The rural firm moved to your city; however, and the small community it moved from has enthusiastically embraced becoming a “Slow City;” in fact, it has begun enlisting several other small communities in your region to take the same path. A delegation of leaders from these small communities has asked to meet with you to discuss the possibility of you helping them to develop as “Slow Cities” (with “Slow Food”). To prepare for this meeting, a. do a preliminary SWOT analysis (the basic strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and interconnections you see) of becoming a Slow City, b. make a list of half a dozen questions (or so) that you feel you should ask the leaders when they arrive, c. and (barring any surprises you might find in their answers to your questions) discuss your basic recommendation about becoming a Slow City (hint look at your SWOT for help). PS – In addition to the links provided, by Googling "Slow City" and "Slow Food" you can find additional information about the Slow Movement.
