In the past twenty years, globalization has rendered many
economic and social urban functions obsolete. Large cities face a
form of implosion, which necessitates a rethinking of both contents
and containers. This book will mainly concentrate on the latter
aspect. Thus, the need to replace old functions with new ones is
clear, especially within complex urban areas where the connections
between public and private assets are strongest. In this context,
new forms of urban models, Public Private Partnerships, tools and
"drivers" - various decision makers who have to operate within
complex urban areas - have to be considered. Hence, the creation or
destruction of values depends on how new functions replace old
ones. This also explains new and important forms of competitive
advantage, among large globalized cities.
This book presents a model of complex urban interventions. Based
on a literature review, the model integrates different forms of
Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), new tools and instruments
associated with governance (issues/challenges), and new profiles of
public drivers. By analyzing a number of European urban centers,
this book illustrates the implementation of the general model in
specific case studies and, furthermore, shows the essential
differences between post-socialist and Western cities.
