Opportunities, innovation and legitimacy in Public-Private Collaboration. Lessons from french practices
The debate about urban regeneration is coping with the spreading of public-private interactions and new geographies of powers. Thanks to a lexical shift from Public-Private Partnership to Public-Private Collaboration (PPC), the research aims to investigate these approaches to urban transformations and, analyzing the features of French best practices, outlines innovation’s potential of such experiences. Four cases were studied as an advanced form of PPC for city-making, with widely recognized high-quality outcomes.
