accessing Private Sector finance in urban regeneration investor and non investor perspectives
Journal of Property Research, 2000Co-Authors: Stanley Mcgreal, Alastair Adair, Jim Berry, Bill Deddis, Suzanne HirstAbstract:This paper is concerned with the role of Private Sector finance in urban regeneration. The theme is initially explored from a literature perspective examining recent initiatives and current policy directions. The central core of the analysis investigates investment behaviour and draws upon results of two independent survey cohorts namely Private Sector actors who invest in urban regeneration and those not investing. Motives for holding property investment portfolios and decision-making criteria are analysed and factors facilitating the flow of Private Sector finance are assessed. It is shown that market factors are the primary influences on decision making with regeneration initiatives of a secondary nature. Although both cohorts identify similar factors as being important in the decision-making process, the perception of the risk/return profile associated with urban regeneration differs significantly. Institutional investors are shown to have much higher entry criteria, with quality of neighbouring environment a major factor deterring investment. In improving the flow of Private Sector finance into urban regeneration, non-finance based instruments emerge as key considerations.

public Private partnerships in urban infrastructures reconciling Private Sector participation and sustainability
Public Administration Review, 2009Co-Authors: Joop Koppenjan, Bert EnserinkAbstract:The speed and scale of urbanization provide serious challenges for governments all over the world with regard to the realization, maintenance, and operation of public urban infrastructures. These infrastructures are needed to keep up with living standards and to create conditions for sustainable development. The lack of public funds and the inefficiencies of public service provision have given rise to initiatives to stimulate Private parties to invest their resources in public urban infrastructures. However, Private Sector participation creates a whole range of new challenges. The potential benefits are countered by concerns about the compatibility of the Private Sector‘s focus on short-term return on investment with the long-term perspective needed to realize sustainability targets. On the basis of a review of literature on experiences with Private Sector participation in urban infrastructure projects, this article identifies governance practices that help or hinder the reconciliation of Private Sector participation in urban infrastructure projects with the objective to increase the sustainability of the urban environment.

Private Sector provision and financing of aids treatment in africa current developments
Current Hiv\ aids Reports, 2007Co-Authors: Frank Feeley, Patrick Connelly, Sydney RosenAbstract:Despite the rapid expansion of public Sector highly active antiretroviral (ARV) treatment programs, the Private Sector continues to be an important source of services and financing for AIDS treatment in Africa. This article reviews currently available information on Private Sector initiatives, including recent innovations. Private Sector providers continue to offer ARV treatment, although adherence problems resulting from high user fees indicate the need for employer, donor, or insurance support. Employer clinics have reported impressive results in patient recruitment and survival. Health insurers are removing AIDS exclusions and expanding AIDS coverage, in some cases with targeted lower cost policies. Public-or donor-funded ARVs have been used to leverage the expansion of populations treated at employer clinics, and attempts are underway to contract for Private Sector services using public and donor funds. With both funds and clinical resources stretched to meet AIDS treatment goals in countries with a high prevalence of HIV, further efforts are indicated to leverage Private Sector resources as part of a national treatment plan.
