Public-Private Partnerships, Urban Regeneration Projects and Asymmetries: contributions from a systematic literature review
Urban regeneration practices are increasingly used in urban development in different contexts. The regeneration of urban areas, especially when these represent strategic areas of cities, is inserted in a scenario of increasing competition between cities, globalization, and neoliberalism. Neoliberalism is associated with the idea of neoliberal urbanism and with the concept of urban entrepreneurship, the role of the private sector being of great relevance. In this sense, many urban regeneration practices are implemented through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). Despite the different urban contexts in which they are carried out, most of the Urban Regeneration Projects carried out through Public-Private Partnerships can be classified through some specific typologies, with specific characteristics. Thus, this study seeks to identify specific typologies of urban regeneration projects carried out through Public-Private Partnerships. In addition to the identification of typologies, the aim is to understand the main characteristics of the projects and, above all, understand the consequences and asymmetries resulting from their implementations. To this end, the study starts from a broader literature review on Public-Private Partnerships in Urban Regeneration Projects. The results point to some well-defined typologies: mega-events projects, business improvement district (BID), brownfields redevelopment and industrial areas, sustainable cities and low carbon cities, creative cities and smart cities, waterfront projects, entertainment and shopping center, projects related to heritage and historic areas. Regarding the asymmetries, it is observed that many of these projects, while providing urban and economic regeneration that benefits specific groups, present evidence of processes of exclusion and gentrification.
