The Hexagon of Local Economic Development

The Hexagon is useful in introducing practitioners and stakeholders to the main concepts and instruments of LED. It helps widen the perspective, un-derstand the complexity of LED and appreciate the trade-offs and conflicts involved in doing LED. There are thus two types of persons for whom this paper – and the concept – is useful:

  • LED trainers and other persons who need to educate stakeholders, public officials, business representatives etc. about the key issues involved in LED;
  • stakeholders, public officials, private sector representatives and others who need a framework to organise their thinking on LED.
