Development must be less about growth,

                                      more about wellbeing

               Sustainable development will only succeed if politicians

               prioritise people’s needs over economic progress, says

                                               new report

      People and their wellbeing need to be at the centre of development, with less emphasis on economic growth, according to a new report, but this requires philanthropic and development organisations to challenge current thinking.

      “Development is political,” said the final report of the Bellagio Initiative, a six-month exploration into the future of philanthropy and international development. “Not everyone can be a winner at the same time, but if no one among the winners is prepared to give up just a little in order to reach politically sustainable solutions, then we will all lose out. The real wellbeing challenge is not just to find ways to live well, but for us to find ways to live well together.”

      Care work was cited as an example of an area that would receive greater attention under the new approach. Care for children and the elderly — work often done by women — is systematically undervalued and overlooked in the development agenda, said the report.

    Gothenburg, Sweden

      The industrial port city of Gothenburg, on Sweden’s west coast, has little of the glamour that graces the country’s capital, Stockholm. But this once resolutely working-class city is nevertheless making a name for itself as a new hive of the creative arts, with its homegrown fashion labels and upstart indie bands, its jovial craft beer bars and alternative arts scene. Gothenburg (Goteborg in Swedish) is also the fitting host to Scandinavia’s leading film festival and hugely popular music festivals. These days, the cool cultural revival happening in Sweden’s second-largest city appears well under way.

      Those who like coffee cannot miss Bar Centro, a small coffee shop where the espresso is made to high Italian standards and patrons often linger on the stoop and curb outside. Then there are the charming cobblestone streets of the historic Haga neighborhood, which is peppered with classic Swedish cafes that sell absurdly oversize kanelbullar (cinnamon buns) known as Hagabullar.
