book cover
Today, cities face unprecedented challenges, from climate change and the digital divide to social injustice and inequality. Empowering Smart Cities offers a unique approach to addressing these challenges through the concept of community-centered public-private partnerships (CP3). This book is a comprehensive guide for policymakers and stakeholders seeking practical solutions to urban problems.
At the heart of the book are eight case studies showcasing CP3 models from around the world. These partnerships go beyond traditional public-private collaborations by fostering inclusive relationships and leveraging resources to empower communities. CP3 helps cities manage complex projects while working toward the greater public good by sharing risks and responsibilities among diverse stakeholders, including government authorities, researchers, business leaders, policy makers, and local residents. It enables us to tackle urban challenges.
This partnership is an example of a new era of long-term public-private partnerships (PPPs). Founded on the principle of broad economic opportunity, this partnership embodies the potential for sustained cooperation between public and private institutions. As cities around the world grapple with increasingly complex urban challenges, this partnership is a testament to the effectiveness of forging lasting alliances to address the most pressing problems of our time.
“We believe the future of cities lies in collaborative efforts that prioritize the needs and aspirations of local communities,” says Debra Lamb. “This book serves as a roadmap for building resilient, inclusive, and innovative cities that can thrive in the face of adversity.”
“The case studies we present highlight what can be achieved when cities set strong visions and collaborate with academia, the private sector and communities to achieve their goals.” Andrea Fernandez he added.
