Thematic Reports Private sector in urban regeneration  
   

2.4.6. Intermediaries

 
   
One of the interesting features of the Entrust regeneration programmes is the development of intermediaries. They may be public sector organisations (like Kvarterløft secretariats), not-for-profits (like Gorbals Initiative, OTRA, Malta Regeneration Agency), or for-profits (like STEG). Their structure – which reflects the approach of their country - is less important than the role they play. They act in an independent way which may not be possible for the traditional public sector organisation bound by committee structures and legislation. They can move at a different speed, are more closely linked to the neighbourhood, the residents and to the businesses. They are developing an understanding of the private sector – in the variety of its role, motivation, capacity and opportunities. And they can capture the confidence of the sector and build upon it.
