It is indeed a paradox of planning that after years of intensive work and consultation, we hand the physical realisation of that plan over to others to achieve. This is particularly the case in the traditional centres of towns and cities. They are complex, multi-layered places; physically, socially, economically and politically; a rich tapestry of culture, heritage, architecture, activity and business that is so characteristic of ‘real’ urbanism. However, it is this diversity and legacy that makes urban cores challenging and often undesirable locations for simplistic planning, development and investment models1. Comprehensive redevelopment and regeneration inevitably changes urban character because it must reconstruct and densify to enhance values. This paper considers some alternative bottom-up public-private partnership mechanisms that support the investment and renewal of the urban fabric to enhance value through multiple minor interventions and initiatives: Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and Landlord-led renewal.EnglishopenAccessconferenceObject118-119
