The role of partnerships in urban economic regeneration (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McQuaid, R. W. (1998). The role of partnerships in urban economic regeneration.

Partnerships to promote urban economic regeneration are widespread, but the theoretical basis of for understanding such partnerships is poorly developed.
