Public–private partnerships have shaped the development of geographic regions and cities in industrialized nations since at least the early eighteenth century. Today, new accords between business interests and city governments continue to shape paths for capital to flow across the globe. As industry and technology transform the way populations communicate, travel, and labor, collaboration between the state and private enterprise morph along with changes in capitalistic production. Globalization too has proved to be a windfall for public–private partnerships; emerging markets embedded within burgeoning metropolises entice capital investment alongside the undertakings of new experiments for urban governance.
