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.
