| Summary: | The article deals with the growing importance of
philanthropy regarding German urban development in recent years. Between the
opposing poles of financial shortage of public authorities and increasing
concentration of private assets, the financial and local engagement of
wealthy citizens open up creative leeway for urban policy. Two nationwide
surveys in 467 cities respectively 5000 foundations in 22 cities as well as
24 qualitative interviews with various decision makers from policy,
administration, economy and foundation system provide the empirical basis
for this article. Key findings of the article are two systematisations. One
systematisation categorizes German cities regarding their level of
philanthropy activity. The other systematisation outlines different project
types concerning the strategy and procedure of cooperation between
philanthropists and local authorities. |
