Venturous Sessions presents....Public-Private Partnerships
How Public-Private Partnerships Could Work for Sustainable Urbanization
How does a city transform itself into a Smart City? The rise of Smart Cities is providing unprecedented opportunities for mutually beneficial public-private partnerships, offering new business opportunities, cost efficiencies and greater access to specialist skills and expertise.
Creating a Smart City with the sole effort of the government is not enough. According to research by Deloitte, only 16 percent of cities can self-fund required infrastructure projects.
However, finding the right balance in these partnerships can be challenging. In this month’s Venturous Session, we invite Ms. Zeina Nazer, Co-Founder of Cities Forum; Mr. Luke Antoniou, Senior Editor of Smart Cities World and Ms. Hallie Liao, Head of China Investments at Transport International Holdings & Deputy General Manager of Shenzhen Bus Group, to give us an outlook on how these public-private partnerships are formed, the factors to consider to realize win-win situations for all stakeholders and also some key takeaways from our Shenzhen City Profile Report.
