A Guide to managing Capital Investment Projects

Abstract: CIPs are an important area of MuSPP support, i.e. a tangible asset resulting from the spatial planning processes. Notably, a lot has been done in terms of place-making. This guide is based on MuSPP’s lessons learned and aims to provide a set of practical advices for the CIP cycle. CIPs identification, design, implementation and maintenance are complex processes involving not only the municipal staff but also the business community, other governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as civil society. This step-by-step guide contains useful and practical information on roles and responsabilities of all the stakeholders during the process on methodological tools and chronological tasks as well as related check-lists to make the CIP happen from A to Z. Some case studies in MuSPP partner municipalities bring an additional perspective in demonstrating the success of such a process.

Turning Spaces into Places - handbook

Abstract: As a complement to 'A Guide to Managing Capital Investment Projects', this handbook outlines key underlying design characteristics of ‘good public places’, by introducing some global concepts and local examples. It also certainly aims to stimulate discussion, generate ideas, collective thinking and raise awareness amongst decision-makers about place-making vs. space-maintaining. The handbook clearly explains what place-making is, and above all how place-making impacts people’s lives and how it can be achieved. The handbook develops some design principles and techniques and contains vibrant and inspiring examples triggered from CIPs implemented in partner MuSPP municipalities.
