Public-private partnerships as a means to improve the sustainability performance of business parks : A case study of the Netherlands

Business parks play a large role in the mitigation of and adaption to climate change. They have complex governance models, at which public and private stakeholders are involved. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are therefore crucial to deploy successful practices. This thesis investigates how public-private partnerships at business parks in the Netherlands are organised to improve the sustainability performance of business parks and based on four case studies, provides a conceptual model on PPP practices at business parks.
