Public-private development is failing.
How can we fix it?

Webinar!
Monday, December 15
7:00PM via Zoom
City and State governments increasingly rely on public-private development partnerships to provide public goods such as affordable housing, open space, and job creation. Yet, recent experience with approved projects like Penn Station and Atlantic Yards, as well as questions about proposed projects like the Brooklyn Marine Terminal, raise concerns about major development projects not meeting their stated public commitments.
​
Join us for a discussion of why it has been difficult to realize commitments for public benefits from government-sponsored development projects, and what can be done to improve outcomes in the future.
