At a time of public sector retrenchment in urban regeneration it has become increasingly important to understand how planners can help create better places. Recent studies suggest that planners must behave as market actors by strategically deploying planning tools to influence market behaviour. In this context, this paper examines how local planning authorities use a…

This doctoral thesis explores the organisational, managerial and financial features of Private Sector-led Urban Development Projects in international comparative perspective by introducing theoretical concepts and case studies from the Netherlands, UK and USA that benefit local planning authorities and property developers to bring innovation to urban development practices. What can we learn from private sector-led urban…

This paper builds upon findings from international-oriented Master and PhD studies at the TU Delft. It advocates for adaptive public leadership on a strategic level, and calls for committed private leadership on a tactical level. We argue that – when applied…
