Abstract: This thesis examines the importance, growth, and effects of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in urban revitalization specifically through the case study of Yokohama Minato-Mirai 21 (YMM) - an organization in Japan that has been managing the development project in the district since 1984. A significant contribution of YMM in PPP is the creation of a forum for the city government and the... read moreprivate sector to collaboratively make decisions for local plans and projects. The keys to sustaining the momentum of the partnership and development are the strong leadership from the private sector, financial support from the public sector, and their shared visions. The paper concludes by emphasizing that organizational transitions need to be aptly timed and this requires early and constant communication. This research contains lessons for cities, particularly those seeking for new developments, such as areas that were affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the subsequent tsunami in 2011.
