The common belief that macro-regional metropolitan areas are “sapping” the local communities in the agglomeration can be contrasted with numerous examples of communities successfully exploiting their own separate identity and growing local creativity. Local communities can be categorized as macroergonomic systems. Creating a separate identity of local communities’ development initiatives rests on searching for solutions that will bring maximum value to the community at the lowest possible economic, social and biological cost. One of the conditions of local initiatives can be a model of searching for development opportunities based on an agile management concept. The complexity of local development initiatives, associated with the random character of the sequence of input processes to the whole project, usually forces a departure from the classical calculating project control and instead performing simulations to test the concept and the operational policies based on the Deming Cycle.
