Working with the Private Sector to Enhance Urban Design and Forge New Opportunities for Public Space

Exploring and building these fruitful partnerships may be unfamiliar territory and raise difficult questions for many cities. Partnerships for Urban Design will highlight the perspectives and potential role that developers, business interests, and other private sector partners can play in creating a more dynamic, successful, and sustainable built environment in cities.
