Wondering what we've been up to now for the last weeks? Here is a preview of the draft conclusion from our research in Rotterdam! It's still a work in progress but it shows some of our ideas!
"When concluding the case of Rotterdam, one can
see that there are special characteristics of the three main actors and of
their interrelationships that made this project successful until now. Firstly,
the government actor and the private investor actor have balanced out their
desires and demands, resulting in both the development of real estate on an
excellent location and an improvement in the surroundings and infrastructure.
This can be seen as a profit for both the private sector and the public sector.
Secondly, the PPP has been defined very clearly and its goals have been set
very concretely, enhancing efficiency and communication. Thirdly, the civic participation of the
neighborhoods was active and very enabled by the PPP. The locals were allowed
to be active in the planning and decision making. This also ensured that the noses of all
actors are pointed in the same direction and friction is marginalized. The most
troublesome relation the researches think will be the development of how the
neighborhood actors correlate with itself. How the identity of the neighborhoods
will change, if the social fabric will
still be in place and especially how the locals will adapt to their new environment
once the project is completely finished. The authors advise that this is closely monitored
by both the municipality and sub-local institutions such as community centers
and the women support groups the researchers visited."
