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... read morethe private 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.
