Globally, there has never been as much money ready to be invested into infrastructure systems as there is today. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will rewrite the destiny of cities and their ability to mitigate and adapt to climate change, aging populations, etc. 

Building Better Cities has worked with numerous cities leading this urban infrastructure transformation, from identifying assets in need of investment to developing projects that will improve quality of life. We’ve assisted governments and developers in garnering community support for various projects, advancing them to a shovel-ready phase, creating public-private partnerships to ensure the appropriate structure can effectively deploy project capital, and overseeing the development process to ensure successful implementation.

Building Better Cities is here to help you and your cities leverage this incredible moment and move stagnant projects to reality. Our services include:

Project Structuring: Building Better Cities is skilled in stakeholder engagement in the early stages of project development to establish processes for future project success. We work with clients to identify the right project structure, considering alternative financing mechanisms and intended outcomes, to make sure capital can be efficiently deployed.

Policy Development and Support: When partnership isn’t enough to find resources for progressing projects, Building Better Cities can help your team propose and develop policy solutions to addressing urban challenges.

Entitlements Strategy: Getting the right approvals at the right time is key to moving projects forward. Building Better Cities has experience navigating complex regulatory environments to derisk projects and get to shovel-ready conditions given project constraints.
