It offers helpful insights into the practices of partnerships and the ways in which partnerships can contribute to a more liveable urban environment. \u003cbr\u003eThe liveability of our cities is a topic of increasing relevance and urgency. The world’s cities are becoming congested and polluted, putting pressure on affordable housing and causing safety to become a major problem. Urban governments are unable to address these major challenges on their own, and thus they seek cooperation with other governments, companies, civil society organizations, and citizens. By focusing on examples such as greenery in the city, affordable housing, safety, neighbourhood revitalization, and ‘learning by doing’ in urban living labs, this book asks two key questions. How do partnerships between public and private actors contribute to the liveability of cities? Under what conditions are partnerships successful, and when do they fail to yield the desired results?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of illustrationsList of contributors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \tIntroduction \tCor van Montfort and Ank Michels\u003cbr\u003ePART I - Partnerships and green in cities\u003cbr\u003e2. \tPartnerships in experimental urban climate governance: insights from Seoul\tJeroen van der Heijden and Seung-Hun Hong3.\tLiveable cities and daily life: local level urban agriculture in Orizânia, São Paulo, and Montreal\tKate Dayana de Abreu, Zilma Borges, Lya Porto, and Peter Spink4. \tFrom gray to green cities: Tilburg, Melbourne, San Jose, and Cape Town \tCor van Montfort and Ank Michels5. \tThe impact of public and private partnerships on the liveability of eco-cities in the Pearl River Delta in ChinaHaiyan Lu, Li Sun, and Martin de Jong\u003cbr\u003ePART II – Partnerships and affordable housing\u003cbr\u003e6.\tProduction of middle-class residential developments in Nairobi: informal collaboration between developers and urban planners\tMary Muthoni Mwangi7.\tInnovations in affordable housing in Dublin: lessons from not-for-profit housing developers\tValesca Lima8.\tEmerging public-private partnership in the provision of affordable housing in China’s major cities.Zhi Liu and Desiree Chew\u003cbr\u003ePART III – Safety in the city\u003cbr\u003e9.\tPartnerships for safe cities: community-safety initiatives in cities in the Netherlands and Belgium\tCarola van Eijk10.\tMulti-stakeholder cooperation for safe and healthy urban environments: the case of Citizen Sensing\tAnna Berti Suman11.\tSafety in the city: building partnerships in the fight against organized crime\tMartijn Groenleer, Sanderijn Cels, and Jorrit de Jong \u003cbr\u003ePART IV – Neighborhood revitalization\u003cbr\u003e12.\tPartnerships in shrinking cities: making Baltimore ‘liveable’?\tMadeleine Pill13.\tYouths growing up in the French banlieues: partners that make the city\tSimone van de Wetering and Femke Kaulingfreks 14.\tThe effectiveness, legitimacy and robustness of hybrid liveability governance.
