abstract: Former industrial inner-city brownfield sites offer key opportunities for housing provision and sustainable urban regeneration. However, their complexity and associated challenges often ensue conflicting interests and impede successful implementation. Collaborative forms of urban governance can potentially facilitate joint decision-making and shared ownership, and aid practitioners in overcoming such complexities. Private sector developers can play a vital role in these processes by enacting boundary spanning activities that bridge organizational and societal boundaries, such as those between public authorities, private entities, and local communities. This thesis examines the boundary spanning activities of private sector developers in the UK and the Netherlands, in order to assess how these activities contribute to generating public support, thereby mitigating tensions and facilitating successful urban regeneration in former industrial inner-city brownfield areas within different national contexts. Qualitative interviews across four case studies provide insight, and highlight a diverse range of practices. In the Netherlands, an approach centred around the public-private boundary was observed, while UK developers appeared to be more heavily focused on community engagement and regional partnerships, with a considerably larger role in building public support. Understanding these practices informs effective strategies for garnering public support in urban regeneration initiatives.
