Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the impact of privatization, this book delves into the role of Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) in revitalizing urban areas. These non-profit organizations partner with municipal governments to enhance commercial and lifestyle spaces, yet operate without direct electoral accountability. The author questions the democratic nature of BIDs and their influence on local governance and citizen engagement. Through this exploration, the book sheds light on the broader implications of public-private partnerships in shaping urban environments and community dynamics.
