LPA 4810 - Public Private Partnerships


In much of the country, public and private actions develop business and physical infrastructure, provide needed services and contribute to other physical and intellectual attributes that constitute communities. This course examines the intermingling of public and private roles and responsibilities and the potential consequences for the business, social, economic and physical development of communities that reflect the inevitable negotiation of public interest oversight and entrepreneurial risk in cross-sectoral partnerships. This course will function as a public private partnership with faculty and students engaging business and public leaders to build and analyze partnerships for the future.
