Thematic Reports Private sector in urban regeneration  
   

2.1.4 Residents and consumer

 
   

There is also no clear agreement about how far individual residents should be included in the private sector – not only do they invest as owner-occupiers, but as consumers they have an important part to play in ensuring the success of the private sector. They do not only influence the flourishing of local commercial premises, they also use services as there is health-care, education etc. Residents and consumers set up different kinds of base condition for private sector involvement as clients in different specific fields (e.g. Boxion - Berlin, Music Center- Hamburg). They could be an incentive to lever private investment as they query about market failures.

But, as most of the cities suggest, enough of this definitional issue. For the purposes of the rest of this report we concentrate on the commercial sector, and its contribution to neighbourhood regeneration.
