> It would be nice if you could name the country and bureaucracy of the success story. I know of one such move; the experts made it known they'd rather resign and find new jobs than move to the periphery with their families. The move was cancelled as it was pointless without the experts. It would be nice if you could name the failure you cite, too. Government experts will live in a lot of places. NASA has major operations in a metro area in Alabama with only ~500k people, for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Space_Flight_Center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Space_Flight_Center. That's more periphery than center, in my mind.
