PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS: Can We Get to the Promised Land?

Over the past decade the buzz word “Public/Private Partnership” has been used by developers, municipalities and planners to create dynamic developments otherwise impossible given fiscal, economic or development constraints. This approach has worked internationally and, to a lesser extent, here in the United States.  Skyscrapers, open space, museums, schools, universities, transportation projects and ports have successfully utilized this framework – but where does Los Angeles rank?  Even those deemed a “success” by L.A. standards, fall short of the original vision and intent. Is there a magic structure that L.A. has failed to implement? Hear from those trying to implement the vision and guide the dialogue how a region this large and diverse muster the required support and focus to forward these catalytic projects through multiple agencies, departments and elected officials.
