Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS for LOCAL GOVERNMENTSTen new cities with a total of over one-half million residents have been created in Georgia in the last dozen years. The author was responsible for the implementation of Sandy Springs, the first new city to be incorporated in Georgia in fifty years. He served as the principal advisor to the majority of the other new cities. His previous book "Creating the New City of Sandy Springs" was published as a guide for other communities considering incorporation. That book introduced the concept of a broadly based public/private partnership as a more efficient and responsive model for providing services.The record of successes of the first several of these new cities is outlined in this book.Based on the success of these innovative cities, "Public Private Partnerships for Local Governments" strongly urges that existing cities which have followed the traditional bureaucratic structures, for too long, give strong consideration to the public/private partnership model. The book contains sample Requests for Proposals (RFP's), Contracts and more, that will serve as a very useful guide to introducing an improved, more efficient and responsive, model for local governments.
