Public And Private Partnerships

The article is devoted to the matters of public-and-private partnerships in the field of housing-and-communal services. The author recognizes, that sustainable urban development requires effective funding with the leading role of municipal finances. At the same time, financing of housing-and-communal sector through the municipal budget only would be too burdensome, while the use of the public-and-private partnership scheme has proved to be the good solution of this problem. However, there is no definite answer: whether the housing-and-communal sector is the most developed zone of public-and-private partnership or, on the contrary, it is an obscure and ineffective zone. The author analyzes the Russian experience of use of the public-and-private partnership scheme in the field of housing-and-communal services and reveals the main problems, which prevent the attraction of the private capital to this sphere. Such rather new trends as so called "box decisions" and "pool" securitization of infrastructure projects are considered in the article. According to the author, the use of these options could contribute to the development of housing-and-communal sector and the city infrastructure as well as the urban development as whole.

Urban metropolitan city-centers offer the most complex, socially connective environments in the built world. The social structures fundamentally embedded in city life are, however increasingly being overshadowed by an isolating system of city densification. The City of Toronto, as a territory of exploration, is one of many cities that are evolving a dense array of restrictive boundaries that increasingly challenge human connectivity, and the deep-rooted ability of these environments to establish vibrant city life. It is the role of architecture to mediate the relationships between the public and private territories and to understand how these environments are utilized and engaged by the surrounding context. This thesis has extracted critical environmental components exemplified in city, community, and building territories, and has re-integrated these defining characteristics into an alternative design strategy that establishes a balanced symbiotic relationship between the private and public realms of Toronto’s future City Core.

Recent studies in brownfield redevelopment and investment have shown great interest in urban planning studies because of their negative effects on cities, they promoted sprawl, pollution, social and economic problems. There is a general agreement among researchers and experts that brownfield sites can be reused as green spaces, commerce centers, and residential projects. To promote sustainable urban development the role of the community must be strengthened and enabled to participate in the development process. The partnership between stakeholders such as community development organizations and investors are critical to promoting both communications and build confidence, which are important elements to a sustainable redevelopment program. The paper Highlights the role of community participation including society, public-private sector and local organization in activating brownfield projects through analysis several projects, from this analysis we point out that most of the brownfield project need huge corporation between community and public and private sector in addition to various disciplines such as urban planning, policy management and economic and environment aspect

The research features the problem of searching for a model of relations between the state and the business in the conditions of the changing development vector of the Russian economy. An important place in this discussion is the issue of the boundaries of the public and private sectors. Based on the analysis of modern approaches to models of government-business relations, the authors define the role of relations in the state-business tandem. The most effective form of relations is public-private partnership. The development of the partnership between the state and the business is a mechanismfor the implementation of socially significant projects, as close to the market as possible. It contributes to the socio-economic development and the changes in the development vector of resource regions. The paper introduces a classification of relations in the "state-business" tandem. The authors use the basis method of comparative analysis to distinguish two diametrically opposite models of state-business interaction, i.e. pluralistic and corporate. The approach based on the dichotomy of a liberal and a coordinated model is more promising for analyzing the interaction between the state and the business in regions with a mono-profile orientation.

Collaborative Space

Cross-sector collaborative spaces have been suggested to provide a way of organising collaboration between the public, private, and third sector to address so-called grand challenges. However, due to the complexity and uncertainty of grand challenges, establishing collaborative spaces is associated with considerable risks. Innovation policy scholars disagree whether public or third sector organisations are better suited to take these risks. Based on the case of Copenhagen-based BLOXHUB, this paper investigates the role of a third sector organisation in interweaving actors across sectors to configure a collaborative space in the field of sustainable urban development.

The prominent role of the public administration is a key aspect to understand why and how Milan became the “Italian city of expositions” since the national unification, in 1861. The municipality has indeed being taking a set of initiatives for promoting a strong and shared growth, along with various stakeholders in the local community. As a result of this policy Milan has become a benchmark in national and international markets, providing an ideal environment for successful events that highlighted both the industrial progress of the city and its leading role in strategic planning for innovative projects. Thus Milan has been considered as the ‘moral capital’ of Italy, an inspiring example for the whole nation and, furthermore, as a world metropolis. The National Exposition of 1881, the International Expo of 1906, the «Fiera Campionaria», the annual conventions and expositions for professionals, along with Expo 2015 are just a few examples of its reputation of excellence that lives on through the ages.

This chapter critically approaches the role of academic knowledge. This plays a crucial role in the process of development, identification, and evaluation of the so-called ‘best-practices’ of urban planning worldwide. The chapter takes this focus in order to problematise the normative force that academic knowledge can have and argues that it may contribute to the post-politicisation rather than to contest and reframe practices of urban planning. To substantiate the arguments, the chapter draws on the city of Freiburg in Germany. Despite its severe problems and challenges related to social justice and social equality, this city is widely hailed as a best-practice for sustainable urban development in much of the contemporary academic literature on this issue.
