Large-scale urban development projects aim to create better places in underused or deteriorated areas. For their realization, cooperation between planning authorities and market parties is indispensable. Contracting for Better Places focuses on the development agreements that these parties close. It follows from the relational contract theory that, as the projects evolve over time, these agreements have to promote relational values such as trust and flexibility. This work displays four interesting cases: Battery Park City and Hudson Yards (both in New York City), Zuidas (Amsterdam) and King's Cross (London). The content, meaning and function of real-life development agreements of these focal projects are studied and criticized. The conclusions have a case-specific as well as a more general character.

This book covers three principal subject areas: smart cities, general contractors and business models. The smart city concept is currently on the rise and cities around the world appear to be in a race to become smart, fast. Converting big cities into smart cities is a move that almost all cities around the globe have made, or will undoubtedly make in the near future, to be able to cope with the various repercussions of urbanization. Smartness is a vague term that could relate to anything and everything, such as infrastructure, people or governance. In this book, we focus our attention on smart buildings - large ones, in particular - and attempt to identify the key problems that France-based construction companies face today, in order to suggest plausible solutions. Our research findings show that no single business model can fit all smart cities worldwide. Using the general contractor business model for smart cities, this book proposes an original solution to managing smart city projects, bringing together architecture, construction and strategy.

Verbraucher sehen sich häufig Beschränkungen beim Zugang zu und bei der Nutzung von online angebotenen Inhalten ausgesetzt, die in Endbenutzer-Lizenzvereinbarungen durchgesetzt werden. Diese Beschränkungen können mit den durch das EU-Verbraucherrecht geschützten Verbraucherinteressen kollidieren. Dieses Buch bewertet die ungeklärte Beziehung zwischen dem EU-Urheberrecht und dem Verbraucherrecht, indem es die geltenden Rechtsvorschriften für die Bereitstellung digitaler Inhalte, einschließlich der neuen Richtlinie über digitale Inhalte und digitale Dienste und der Richtlinie über das Urheberrecht im digitalen Binnenmarkt, sowie die einschlägige Rechtsprechung des EuGH zur Beurteilung von Grundrechtskonflikten im Zusammenhang mit urheberrechtlichen Nutzungsbeschränkungen sorgfältig berücksichtigt. Dieses Buch enthält einen Vorschlag für einen integrativen Ansatz, der darauf abzielt, die Interessen von Urheberrechtsinhabern und Verbrauchern beim Zugang zu digitalen Inhalten und deren Nutzung miteinander in Einklang zu bringen.

Local governments can provide services with their own employees or by contracting with private or public sector providers. We develop a model of this "make-or-buy" choice that highlights the trade-off between productive efficiency and the costs of contract administration. We construct a dataset of service provision choices by U.S. cities and identify a range of service and city characteristics as significant determinants of contracting decisions. Our analysis suggests an important role for economic efficiency concerns, as well as politics, in contracting for government services.

Lawyers are engineers and architects of contractual frameworks -- arguably equally important as those actually building the physical infrastructure and those financing it. Contracts are part of adequate legal governance that is considered one of the preconditions to be in place for effectively managing and finishing projects. In increasingly complex infrastructure development parties rely more and more on contracts when dealing with setbacks and claims. However, building complex infrastructure is not without challenges and the same is true for designing adequate contracts. Research shows that contracts often fail to provide the cooperation that is required to realize projects successfully, instead, they tend to fuel disputes and lead to costly litigation, delay, cost overruns, and sometimes to cancellation of projects. This article discusses how contracts perform as governance structures and how lawyers' can -- by their choice of contract design -- impede or foster cooperative contracting behavior. An analysis of the literature on contract design and lawyers' roles in contract design shows a lack of attention paid to cooperation. It then explains the dynamic between formal and informal governance and makes an argument for the potential benefits of taking into account non-legal drivers when designing the contractual environment. The latter part of the article suggests a new framework that lawyers might use to identify tensions between formal and informal governance structures. In addition, it maps the way certain design techniques can enhance cooperation by foreshadowing and eliminating these tensions when drafting contracts for infrastructure projects. The proposed steps can be utilized by lawyers as points of departure for tailoring contracts to the contract parties' 'cooperation preferences'. This article hopes to have a significant, beneficial impact on the role lawyers can have to help pave the way for the creation of physical structures for a modern, healthy, and prosperous society.
