This presentation will focus on the experience of the many diverse players in the production process. It will seek to tell the story of private sector leadership in facing this problem, especially the organization and use of local business associations to help tackle the problem, and the creation of public-private partnerships essential to fashioning special instruments of finance. It will use examples of the transformation of major, blighted public housing projects into successful mixed-income communities.

Organization Description |
The primary goal of the Local Development Observatories Program is to contribute to and strengthen the development of better urban management with participatory planning in the hopes of reducing poverty.
1. Each observatory provides support and advice to decision-makers to gain support and advice, in the fields of participatory planning (by diagnosing given situations and developing, keeping track of, and evaluating local development policies using decision-making tools) and communication (by setting up a website that brings all the available information together.)
2. The goals of these Observatories are to:
• strengthen the dialogue between civil society and local and government authorities;
• gain better knowledge and understanding of the public’s opinions on how their environment is managed, paying particular attention to the most vulnerable groups (youth and women and especially disadvantaged populations);
• encourage the public to participate, at their own level, to the common local development effort;
• identify and highlight new potentialities;
• promote the sharing of experiences.
