Urban sustainability has become a political and social agenda of
global significance, of which real estate is an integral dimension.
Sustainable urban development includes much more than 'green
building' standards, yet in practice, other aspects such land use
plans and locations are often overlooked. This book demonstrates
that the issue of sustainable development stretches far beyond the
hitherto dominating agenda based on 'green' (i.e. environmentally
and ecologically sustainable) buildings. In doing so, it presents a
novel framework based on the concept of economic sustainability of
real estate locations, drawing connections with the global
financial crisis and housing price bubble discourse. It argues for
the need to better integrate social, cultural and economic
dimensions into the real estate sustainability agenda. It also
explores the role of location, and especially the image aspect
therein. Trends in consumer choice are important to the way these
dimensions are appreciated in decisions about investment,
development, valuation and other activities of the production,
consumption and governance of the built environment. This book will
be of interest to private and public sector practitioners of real
estate valuation as well as scholars of urban studies, geography,
economics, urban planning and environmental studies.
An inside account of the multi-billion pound world of private
equity and a masterclass on the art of deal-making. The Dealmaker
is a frank and honest account of how a severely dyslexic child who
struggled at school went on to graduate from Oxford and become a
serial entrepreneur. It describes Guy Hand's career in private
equity, first at Nomura and then as head of his own company, Terra
Firma. It looks in detail at the huge deals that Terra Firma has
done over the years, involving everything from cinema chains and
pubs to waste management, aircraft leasing and green energy. And it
offers a brutally honest appraisal of the deal that almost
bankrupted him - the acquisition of multinational music recording
and publishing company EMI in 2007, just as a global financial
crash loomed on the horizon. Above all, he gives the reader a real
sense of what it's like inside the secretive world of private
equity, describing in frank detail the pressures and rewards
involved. Insightful and page-turning, The Dealmaker will prove
inspirational and essential reading for all those who want to
understand how huge business negotiations are done, and what makes
one of private equity's biggest players tick.

This book provides an up-to-date study of public infrastructure in
terms of the selection, procurement and delivery of projects. There
is widespread acceptance that infrastructure is vital and needs
increasing, yet less agreement about how it should be funded and
procured. This book assesses in detail the features of various
procurement options while also providing a framework for comparing
their advantages and disadvantages. Drawing on international
experiences and case studies, Darrin Grimsey and Mervyn Lewis
consider some of the best and worst examples of public-private
partnerships, new funding methods and infrastructure megaprojects.
By offering a conceptual basis for infrastructure decision-making,
the authors identify ways to improve infrastructure procurement
processes. Focusing on urbanization as a driver of innovation in
infrastructure, both the historical context and the future
prospects of public infrastructure are analysed. Significantly, the
book also examines China's ambitious plans to create a 'high-speed
rail economy' and its Belt and Road Initiative across Asia that
offers an interesting contrast to infrastructure developments in
the United States and other advanced economies. Global Developments
in Public Infrastructure Procurement is an essential source of
reference for academics and students of economics, public sector
finance and urban infrastructure.
Founded in 1823, Cazenove & Co. was the most prestigious
stockbroking firm in the City of London, celebrated for its fabled
placing power and for its unrivalled network of client
relationships. Fiercely independent, the firm had always maintained
a low profile, shunning the press and refusing to disclose details
of its own affairs or those of its clients. When Big Bang
revolutionised the City in 1986, Cazenove was the only one of the
major stockbroking partnerships to stand apart from the merger
frenzy which followed, rejecting the conventional wisdom of the day
and resolutely following its own path. So the City was stunned
when, in November 2000, Cazenove announced that it would abandon
its partnership structure, raise external capital and list its
shares on the London Stock Exchange. Working closely with Chairman
and City legend David Mayhew, Robert Pickering led the firm as
Chief Executive throughout this period, as the pair sought to
define Cazenove's future in an industry which was becoming
increasingly dominated by huge international banks. Blue Blood is a
first-hand account of what it was like to manage an investment bank
through a period of tumultuous change, and how Cazenove evolved
from a private partnership into a modern investment bank as part of
the hard-charging American giant J.P. Morgan.
