Private Sector Initiatives and Public Sector Accountability: A Case Study of Contracting With City Venture Corporation
City Venture Corporation is the largest private sector entity in the area of public/private partnerships in the country. Because it operates in many different cities and its projects include both successes and failures, it can serve as a case study for helping to define critical issues about this form of economic development. This study finds that the fundamental issue in such partnerships is the confusion of public, private, and community roles, with the key problem being the role of the government. Such confusion can lead to a lack of accountability. In addition, the study raises questions about the applicability of corporate management models to community economic planning and development.
