Thematic Reports Private sector in urban regeneration  
   

2.5.2. Sustaining businesses, economic development

 
   

One of the fundamental tasks of private sector within urban life and therefore within urban regeneration is the creation of economic diversity and desirable economic stability. There are many examples that demonstrate private sector engagement within economic development of urban areas besides the above-mentioned networks and providing directly employment:

  • Berlin reports about the “ Gründerbox” project, which provided within a public private partnership 34 start-ups with affordable rent level.
     

  • Similarly Hamburg has the “Sprungschanze”-project, a public private partnership that made 30 office spaces available;
     

  • Dublin where the re-use of vacant industrial buildings comes together with the creation of affordable office spaces for start up business particularly IT related.
