Participatory Approach to Core Area Development. A Guide to Good Practice. Fact Sheet 7: Understanding the Mechanisms.

Abstract

To date, examples of successful mixed use development solutions in core

urban areas are limited. Although the reasons for this are both complex

and varied, it is significant that most mixed use developments usually

involve some form of partnership between a community, the private sector

and local government, each with different capabilities, interests and

expectations. The situation is further complicated in that stakeholders

must agree to reach an appropriate compromise over the broad city-wide

economic and financial consequences of both the commercial and the

social aspect of the development.

This Fact Sheet aims to promote good practice in mixed use development

through case study examples that have been tried and tested in a variety of

development contexts.
