The document discusses new community rights introduced in the Localism Act, including the Right to Bid, Right to Challenge, neighbourhood planning, and Right to Build. It outlines the aims and processes for each right, potential challenges for local authorities in implementing them, and questions about extending the rights to other sectors and services.
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) involve collaboration between government agencies and private sector companies to finance, build, and operate public projects. PPPs have existed for centuries but became more popular in the 1980s as governments sought private sector benefits without full privatization. The UK was the first to develop PPP concepts for public services. PPPs allocate risks between partners and remunerate private partners based on performance. Common PPP models include build-operate-transfer, build-own-operate, and design-build-finance-operate. While PPPs provide public services more efficiently, they also carry construction, availability, demand, and partnership risks that must be negotiated.

Place of Power Sector in Public-Private Partnership: A Veritable Tool to Prom...IJMERJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Public Private Partnership involves private sector engagement in infrastructural development. Though in the past, the country infrastructure had been experiencing a decline in the system, this is because, government had been the sole contributor to infrastructural finance and had often taken responsibility for implementation, operations and maintenance as well. This decline in the system is caused by escalating population growth depending on available infrastructure, decaying of existing power infrastructure, political instability and corruption in the system. The ongoing reform is about bringing the system to a lime light. Hence, Public Private Partnership participation in the infrastructural development in Nigeria, will create favorable environment for an investors, provide job opportunities, long time policy, decision making and efficient use of the available resources. This paper therefore dwells on overview of the public private partnership with regards to energy and other infrastructural development of Nigeria. Challenges of the partnership and possible solutions towards subduing the problems are proffered.
Public private partnership sustainable growthRutvij Bhutaiya
A public-private partnership (PPP) is a cooperative agreement between a public sector entity and private sector entity. The document discusses several examples of PPPs in India including a mobile hospital partnership and the National Institute for Smart Government. PPPs can provide sustainable growth by sharing goals, resources, risks, and benefits between public and private partners. They allow governments to develop infrastructure and services while transferring risks to the private sector. However, PPPs also carry risks that must be carefully managed.
The document defines public-private partnership (PPP) as an arrangement between a government entity and private sector entity, where the private sector provides public assets/services, makes investments, and manages projects for a specified time period while sharing risks with the government. PPP has emerged as a viable solution for e-governance by enabling funds and skills from the private sector to be utilized for projects. Some common PPP models used for e-governance projects include BOOT, BOO, BOT, and joint ventures. The document discusses several Indian e-governance projects implemented using different PPP models like Bangalore One, AP Online, and Passport Seva Project.

This document discusses public-private partnerships (PPPs) in India's urban water sector. It defines PPPs and outlines the types used, including supply contracts, turnkey projects, leases, concessions, and others. Case studies from Senegal and Manila are provided that show how PPPs improved access to water for more people at lower costs. For PPPs to succeed in India's water sector, the document recommends establishing long-term sector trends, following accepted principles, streamlining bureaucracy, developing regulatory frameworks, and reforming tariff structures.
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) involve agreements between public and private sectors to deliver public infrastructure and services. They allow governments to utilize private sector resources and expertise while maintaining public sector control over service provision. PPPs can take various forms, with costs borne by users, taxpayers, or a mix. They aim to provide value for money, but also carry risks like potentially higher costs and reduced public sector flexibility and control.
The document discusses ethics in planning, focusing on digital communication and dealing with difficult boards. It outlines why ethics are important for maintaining public trust and elevating governance. Planners must balance various roles as communicators including educating, listening, mediating, and advocating. New technologies create new ethical responsibilities regarding issues like confidentiality, manipulation, and accessibility. Two hypothetical scenarios present challenges around domineering boards and private discussions between planners and citizens. The document reviews the AICP Code of Ethics and how attorneys can help planners comply.
Ensuring World Class Civic Amenities in Urban India discusses challenges facing India's major cities like housing shortages, waste disposal, and power issues due to rapid urbanization. It proposes solutions like building high-rise housing, organizing waste pickers, and establishing public transport systems.

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) in education involve long-term contracts between governments and private providers to deliver educational infrastructure and services. PPPs aim to uplift quality, increase enrollment ratios and educational outcomes, and reduce the government's workload. They have advantages like improved infrastructure, increased investment, faster project completion, and risk reduction. However, PPPs also face challenges like construction risks, lack of coordination, and weak policy frameworks. PPPs can help increase school access, utilize underused infrastructure, widen access to existing assets, and improve education quality and choices for low-income parents.
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) involve contractual agreements between public and private sector entities to share skills, assets, risks, and rewards in delivering a public service or facility. PPPs are needed in Indian agriculture to boost research, use of quality seeds and farm mechanization, expand irrigation, and ensure food security. They provide benefits like more efficient delivery of projects and innovation but also face challenges like risky investments for private partners and lack of legal frameworks. Examples of agricultural PPPs in India include projects improving maize farming, e-Choupal knowledge platforms, and a Maharashtra program linking farmers' groups with agribusinesses.

The document summarizes a community meeting about plans to redevelop the Bedford Union Armory in Brooklyn. It includes:
1) A discussion of the community engagement process to understand local needs and priorities, which included meetings with elected officials, community organizations, and public meetings.
2) An overview of the proposed development, which includes a community and recreation center, education space, and affordable housing. Specific amenities like a swimming pool, classrooms, and discounted office space are highlighted.
3) Introductions of the non-profit partners who will operate the community and education spaces, including CAMBA, New Heights, and Imagine Swimming, along with the services and programs they will provide.
The document discusses LISC's strategies to promote transit-oriented development (TOD) through affordable and workforce housing. It outlines LISC's goals of expanding housing investment, stimulating economic activity, improving access to education, increasing incomes and wealth, and fostering livable communities. LISC is piloting its TOD work in 5 cities, supporting TOD through technical assistance, policy work, capacity building, and financing. Examples from the Bay Area and Phoenix describe collaborative funds that provide financing to address challenges of long development timelines and financing gaps for affordable housing near transit.
Commissioning to Facilitate Community Building & DevelopmentOlivia Wilson
Asset-based commissioning is an approach that enables communities and people, along with organisations, to become equal co-producers and co-commissioners while making best complimentary use of all assets, via self-help, to enhance whole life as well as community outcomes.

Community Builders Fixed Term 2012 Funding Round PresentationLakemac
This project summary provides an overview of a funding program for community strengthening projects called Community Builders. It discusses the rationale for community strengthening, characteristics of strong communities, eligibility criteria for funding, and examples of previous funded projects. The funding program aims to build capacity, connect disadvantaged groups to the broader community, and enhance communities' ability to manage issues. Examples of funded projects include a native garden enterprise to connect Aboriginal community members and a park-based English conversation program for socially isolated CALD groups.
This document provides an overview of the City of Port Coquitlam Sustainability Initiative. The initiative was established in 2005 to integrate economic, environmental and social aspects of development through policies and programs. It includes developing a sustainability checklist for development applications, promoting green building standards, protecting water sources, and conducting social planning reviews. The goal is to foster sustainable development that balances economic prosperity, environmental protection and high quality of life for current and future residents.
2013 Community Benefit Sharing Study: Local Community Benefit Sharing Mechani...Global CCS Institute
The document discusses a study on local community benefit sharing mechanisms for CO2 storage projects. It finds that (1) benefit sharing should be part of stakeholder engagement and social impact management, not separate; (2) benefits can include maximizing direct/indirect project impacts or community investment programs; (3) for CCS, benefits mainly accrue to capture plant communities, so storage communities may need revenue sharing or investment programs to address the "benefits gap."
Regional Workforce Initiative Announces Priority Projects To Tackle The Regio...LisaGN
This document outlines a collaborative regional workforce development project between multiple organizations in the Fargo-Moorhead region. The project aims to address the workforce gap between available jobs and qualified workers through four main strategies: Cultivate the local talent pipeline, attract new talent to the region, build financial mobility and support for low-wage workers, and encourage innovative solutions. Specific near-term action steps are proposed for each strategy, focusing on areas like career clusters, marketing videos, housing and childcare assistance, and an online job listing site. The timeline spans from immediate implementation to three to five years for full impact.
Building housing that will remain affordable for years to come is a complex undertaking. It can also be expensive. How do we talk and think about cost comparisons, cost containment, and new approaches? What has recent analysis taught us about costs and alternative development models? We’ll get a preview of the work that’s still ahead to reach agreement on priorities and to communicate well about the tradeoffs and choices we make.

This document summarizes a potential pay for success program to address childhood asthma through healthy homes interventions in Springfield, MA. It outlines the basic pay for success model and how it could apply to reducing asthma triggers in the home. Unhealthy homes cause 40% of asthma episodes, so addressing root causes through environmental assessments, education, and repairs could significantly improve health outcomes. The evidence shows home-based multi-trigger interventions recommended by the Surgeon General and Task Force can reduce asthma hospitalizations and costs. Measurable savings in healthcare utilization could repay private investors if a targeted number of asthma episodes are averted.
The social value act- a national perspectivealphacoop
The document discusses the Social Value Act and its goals of opening up public services, driving better value for money, and rebalancing the public services market. The Act encourages considering social value, defined as additional community benefits beyond direct purchasing, in commissioning and procurement. This presents opportunities for more involvement in developing specifications and monitoring services. However, issues include lack of understanding of social value among commissioners and ability to articulate added social value for potential suppliers. The document also discusses initiatives to make working with the public sector easier, such as the Community Right to Challenge and Procurement Reforms.
The document provides information about the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), including its creation, funding sources, challenges, and accomplishments in its first five years. Some key points:
- MSBA was created in 2004 to leverage a 1% sales tax dedicated to funding $11 billion in school construction projects across Massachusetts.
- It has worked to pay off old debt from a previous program, conduct cost reconciliations that saved $900 million, and manage a sustainable school building program within available funding.
- Challenges include weaker than expected sales tax revenue, an $150 million transfer required by the state, and a wait list that was 40% larger than anticipated.
- Accomplishments include acceler
Powerpoint accompanying workshop session from the Homeless and Housing Coalition of Kentucky's 2013 conference. Presented by Bill Kerley, Pennyroyal Center
Permanent supportive housing is a successful, cost-effective combination of affordable housing with services that
helps reduce homelessness for people facing complex challenges and live more stable, productive lives. A major
barrier to the construction of supportive housing is a lack of capacity among non-profit social service/homeless
providers and housing developers. Service providers know how to provide case management services and help
homeless families apply for rental assistance and other public benefits, but they don’t know how to structure tax-
credit projects and access other funds available for affordable housing construction. Low-income housing developers
know how to apply for tax credits and structure deals, but they don’t know how to provide supportive services to
low-income families. This session will benefit all housing and service agencies interested in forging partnerships to
develop permanent supportive housing projects
The City & County of Swansea Community Benefit Policy aims to ensure that major procurements, developments and planning applications benefit the wider community. The policy requires suppliers, contractors and developers to provide targeted recruitment and training of local residents, opportunities for local small businesses through their supply chains, and contributions to local education and community initiatives. The Beyond Bricks & Mortar team coordinates the implementation of community benefits and monitors outcomes.
Peter Cammarano outlines his campaign promises across 14 policy areas including lowering taxes, passing a balanced budget, supporting the arts, improving transportation, developing affordable housing, investing in youth, supporting small businesses, and prioritizing infrastructure, public safety, parks, and responsible development. His plans include working with city council, cutting costs, generating new revenue sources, and making government more efficient, accountable and transparent.

Winning Justice Through CBAs
3. Legally binding contract between developer, broad-
based coalition and city/public authority
Sets forth a range of community benefits regarding
a development project
Result of substantial community involvement
Coalition support for project and implementation
What is a CBA?
4. In some cases, the community benefits terms from a CBA
may be incorporated into an agreement between the local
government and the developer, such as a development
agreement or lease. That arrangement gives the local
government the power to enforce the community benefits
terms.
What is a CBA?
5. Rather than having all parties fight these battles on a
project-by-project basis, a CBP approach is to have local
governments establish a slate of community benefits
policies governing all large urban development projects, at
least when subsidies are being provided. Local hiring
policies, job quality requirements, environmental
mitigations, and provision of affordable housing should be
standard conditions of approval (or at least of subsidy) of
large, multi-use projects in low-income urban areas. Such
policies could set baseline standards while providing
flexibility for unusual circumstances.
What is a CBP?
6. CBAs allow a win-win approach to development:
meaningful, up-front communication between the
developer and a broad community coalition decreases
developers’ risk while maximizing the positive impact of
development on local residents and economies. The
developer benefits from active community support of the
project, and community members gain when the project
responds to their needs.
What is a CBA/CBP?
10. Why the Community Benefits Model Works
1. Community benefits tools maximize returns on local government investment in
development.
2. Community benefits programs can transform regions through stronger, more
equitable economies.
3. Community benefits help generate public support for economic development
projects.
4. Delivering community benefits is smart business.
5. CBAs hold developers accountable for their promises to local governments and
residents.
6. Public input results in better projects that benefit the whole community and
attract local customers.
7. Community benefits are part of a smart growth agenda.
8. Time is money, and projects with CBAs often enjoy a faster, smoother
entitlement process.

12. Kingsbridge (Bronx) Armory
In April of 2013, the Kingsbridge Armory Redevelopment Alliance
reached a groundbreaking CBA for the development of the nation’s
largest ice sports center, including:
Living wage for all workers within the project;
At least 25% of construction employees be targeted workers;
At least 51% of non-construction workers are local with first priority
to underemployed residents of immediate neighborhood;
$8,000,000 initial contribution, plus ongoing contributions, to a
coalition-controlled fund for specified community needs;
Incentives for local businesses to employ local workers;
Local contracting, M/WBE utilization, and local procurement
requirements;
LEED certified green building standards;
Priority community access to the project’s athletic facilities;
Community-based oversight and enforcement of CBA
commitments.
14. CBA Best Practices
There is no one way to win a CBA campaign, but there are
a number of best practices that have emerged as common
themes throughout various community benefit campaigns
15. Best Practices – 4 Goals
1) Increase transparency and include South Chicago residents in the plan for the
Development
• Community Advisory Board
• Neighborhood Impact Study
• Community Driven Master Neighborhood Development Plan
2) Employ local residents in construction jobs as well as create opportunities for local
businesses to occupy retail space within the development once it’s completed
• Maximize Apprenticeships
• Create training programs in community colleges and high schools
• First source hiring
3) Create real affordable rental housing as well as home ownership opportunities for
local residents
• Priority given to displaced / long term residents
• Down payment assistance
• Tax credit for long term residents
4) Establish a science and technology program with local schools.
• Identify the beneficiaries early and get buy in
• Be specific
• Partner with community/tech colleges
• Secure a financial commitment and retain program flexibility
16. Best Practices – Construction Careers
Developing real construction career opportunities in urban
areas requires work on two levels. On the one hand, public
policy has to support a high-road construction industry,
where family-supporting wages, benefits, and skills and
safety training are the norm. On the other hand, public
policy must create demand for targeted workers and
establish the workforce and training system that ensures
qualified workers are ready to fill new jobs. Construction
careers policies and policy approaches find innovative
ways to work on both levels at once.
17. Best Practices – Construction Careers
After years of often-contentious experience, a consensus is
emerging that the strongest approach to achieving quality jobs
and new opportunities is a signed project labor agreement,
combining job quality standards with targeted hiring
requirements. These agreements, sometimes called
Community Workforce Agreements, set the terms for the
project, providing a comprehensive framework for ensuring that
construction creates high quality jobs and provides
opportunities for new workers to get into construction careers.
18. Best Practices – Construction Careers
1. Require apprentice maximization based on the Journeyman to
Apprentice ratio guidelines
2. Build partnerships with local community colleges to hire students and
graduates into skilled positions. Students are prepared for the work
because they receive job training and career placement through the
partnership agreement
3. Build partnerships that train high school students in the skilled trades.
Require a certain number of high school students be trained as part of
the educational process each year funded by the developer.
4. Require the developer(s) fund a program to help open up access to
real estate development opportunities by creating an internship
program for neighborhood residents with real job opportunities or
opportunities to work on other development projects in their
community. (Acre program/MKE)
19. Best Practices – Targeted Hiring
Both local government policies and Community Benefits
Agreements have included measures designed to ensure
that local residents and disadvantaged individuals have
employment opportunities in the retail, transportation,
entertainment, food service and other sectors. These
measures have resulted in thousands of jobs for the
communities that need them most, and are sometimes
paired with job training and other skills development
programs that help individuals build a career.
20. Best Practices – Targeted Hiring
One concrete way to ensure that public investment in private development
benefits low-income communities is to establish targeted hire requirements.
Targeted hire requirements create opportunities for low-income people to get
jobs – they create demand.
Good first source referral systems create the pipeline of qualified workers
from low-income areas prepared to meet that demand.
Community benefits coalitions advocate for targeted hire requirements in
order to target opportunities to low-income residents and people of color who
might otherwise not benefit from new development. Targeted hiring programs
are on the strongest legal footing, and are likely to produce the most
meaningful outcomes, when they are rooted in efforts to reduce poverty
rather than merely to hire city residents.
21. Best Practices – Targeted Hiring
Across the country, targeted hire programs have developed
effective mechanisms for helping low-income local residents find
jobs at new development sites and have created job opportunities
with existing employers that had previously been unavailable to
many low-income workers.
Best Practices for Targeted Hiring Include:
•Strong policy language which sets the stage for success by clearly
defining the responsibilities of all stakeholders: developers,
employers, contractors and the first source referral system.
•Implementation insights and anecdotes that provide some
guideposts for creating and maintaining a first source referral
system.
•Jobs and hiring outcomes that are tangible and accountable.
22. Best Practices – Affordable Housing
Affordable Housing - Housing that costs no more than 30% of
a household's income is considered to be “affordable” for that
household. More specifically, “affordable housing” meets this
30% standard for low-income households (i.e., households
earning below 80% of the area median income). For owners,
housing costs include principal, interest, property taxes, and
hazard insurance. For renters, costs include rent and tenant-
paid utilities (except telephone and cable).
23. CBA coalitions address affordable housing
based on community needs
Bay view/Hunter’s Point in San Francisco:
Ensure that 32% of housing units built within the project are
affordable, at a range of income levels;
Provide over $27 million in housing assistance funds
targeted to neighborhood residents, including down payment
assistance enabling additional units to be sold below market
rates;
Gates/Cherokee in Denver:
250 affordable rental units
150 affordable sale units
Oak to 9th
in Oakland:
465 units for very low income (between 30%-60% AMI)
1/2 will be family size
1/4 senior housing
24. The Atlanta BeltLine Affordable
Housing Program
Make city living financially
attainable for renters and
homeowners
Create 5,600 units of affordable
housing over 25 years
Retain 15% of net bond proceeds
for an affordable housing trust fund
Provide down payment assistance
to homebuyers
Provide incentives to developers
26. A Framework For Success
Step 1 is to Build the Coalition.
Building a coalition is an ongoing effort. Ideally, coalition
building starts long before engaging a developer in
response to project plans and it extends beyond signing a
CBA. However, some coalitions can grow organically in
response to a specific development. Either way, it is highly
recommended that coalitions be broad, representing a
variety of community interests. It is important that agendas
are negotiated within the coalition so that the developer and
city are not forced to deal with various groups, which can
weaken the advantage of negotiating with a coalition.
27. Coalition Best Practices
Community benefits coalitions are long-term, broad-based groups with deep roots
in the community.
Coalitions typically represent a broad array of stakeholders, such as local residents
across the income spectrum, people of all colors, representatives from labor,
environmental and faith groups, and affordable housing advocates.
Community benefits coalitions recognize that high-quality new development is
critical for expanding prosperity. Coalitions seek a role in shaping that
development, and know that no one wins if the project fails.
Coalition members are willing to “lay on the table” their stake or interest in the
project
There is an explicit internal governance agreements that all members are
accountable to
The Coalition outlines bottom lines quickly in an open and transparent manor
28. A Framework For Success
Step 2 is Issue Education. Like coalition building, it is an
ongoing process. Issue education can start before a
particular project or campaign is in place, or it can begin at
the start of negotiations. It’s an important part of the CBA
process because it encourage groups within a coalition to
speak the same language. It also builds trust and a
common agenda. In addition to educating coalition staff
members, issue education can also involve training
grassroots community members and/or neighborhood
residents to act as advocates for the issues.
29. A Framework For Success
Step 3 is Research. Research is an important precursor to
negotiations. Some key research goals include
understanding the development process, locating the
leverage points, and highlighting existing and alternate
regulations.
Questions to Ask:
1. How much $$ will be spent on the development?
2. How much is federal, state or local public $$?
3. Are there already any standards that must be met, because of TIF money?
4. What kinds of tenants are anticipated?
5. Timeline for groundbreaking and construction?
6. Any additional city approvals that are needed?
7. How much housing is planned?
8. Any HUD money? Is there already a stated mix of market based or
affordable housing?
30. Step 4 is to do Community Assessment. This is the
process of discovering what is important to the
community. Often that process begins with a large
community meeting. Top concerns are usually related to
jobs, housing, neighborhood services, and environmental
issues. This is a particularly important step for coalitions,
because it ensures that they accurately represent the
interests of their community.
A Framework For Success
31. Step 5 is to Identify Community Priorities. In this stage,
importance is placed on moving from a laundry list of
demands to a prioritized needs assessment for the specific
neighborhood. This assessment will be the basis of
negotiations and can be a difficult process.
Imagine that a coalition identifies an environmental issue as
the highest priority, but community assessment reveals that
the neighborhood is far more concerned with jobs. This is
where issue education and community assessment is
useful, because it will help the coalition determine which
issues to fight for, and which they can—and possibly should
—make concessions on.
A Framework For Success
32. Step 6 is to Apply Leverage. There will be times when
the coalition needs to “flex its muscle.” The power of the
coalition must be apparent before the development
approval process is complete, which allows meaningful
opportunities to make a lasting impact. Negotiations
should not begin until the coalition has achieved sufficient
power and visibility. This lends the coalition credibility and
forms the basis by which they will win any of their
negotiating points.
A Framework For Success
33. Step 7 is to Form a Negotiating Team. The negotiating
team should include experienced negotiators, people well-
versed in the issues being discussed, and those who may
be able to anticipate the developer’s responses. If legal
counsel has not been involved up to this point, now is the
time to seek legal advice, and possibly even hire an
attorney to be present during negotiations. Remember, it
is important to account for the good-will of coalition
members, to make sure people feel that they are well-
represented, and to protect their interests.
A Framework For Success
34. Step 8 is Negotiations. Negotiations work best “when
[they’re] community-driven and reflective of an honest
assessment of what that project means for the local
people and what they themselves would like to see occur
at that site. Coalitions should enter negotiations knowing
which issues they plan to fight for and where they will
make concessions, and be prepared with alternatives and
“creative solutions” to counteract objections the developer
or the city might have
A Framework For Success
35. Step 9 is to Sign the CBA. At this step, there may
considerable back-and-forth between the coalition’s legal
counsel (if counsel has been retained) and that of the
developer as both sides work on the creation of the legal
document. Signers of a CBA can include coalitions or
groups within the coalition, the developer, and possibly
the city.
A Framework For Success
36. Step 10 is Coalition Support. Remember, the primary
incentive for the developer to sign a CBA is for the
coalition to show support for the project. This is the step in
which the developer expects YOU to hold up your end of
the deal. After—and sometimes even before—signing the
CBA, the coalition will be required to demonstrate support
for the project. Support may include agreeing to not
oppose the project, appearing at press events, and
appearing before the city council.
A Framework For Success
37. Step 11 is Implementation, Monitoring, and Enforcement. It is essential for
the coalition to maintain a continuing oversight body to ensure that the terms
of the agreement are being upheld. Ongoing communications between the
community and developer, and ongoing communication between members of
the coalition, is also critical.
Implementation of the CBA can begin on the date of signing and may extend
for years, during which time the terms—such as selecting contractors and
tenants, putting in place training programs and first source hiring systems,
and building and renting affordable housing—begin coming to fruition. Often,
the terms of a signed CBA will need to be renegotiated as the project moves
forward and new issues or difficulties arise. Coalitions should be prepared to
continue acting as watchdogs for community interests long after the
agreement is signed.
A Framework For Success
38. What is Power?
