ABSTRACT
This chapter presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book identifies the transferable lessons for the strategy as a whole will set the general guidelines identified by Newman and Cervero against the specific accounts of the cases. It then suggests which basic differences in the context might require differences in strategies. These most importantly include differences in existing transport and land use patterns and dominant development challenge and differences in the institutional context. In line with the multi-actor reality and collaborative philosophy documented by all successful cases, stresses the need to, and suggests ways of measuring performance from the point of view of each of the participating stakeholders. The European and American examples all document yet another, more traditional division of tasks, with government financing infrastructure development and the private sector financing property development.
