‘Empowering Smart Cities’ Book Redefines Urban Development Through Public Private Partnerships

ATLANTA, May 7, 2024 (CarryOnHarry.com)
–
The Partnership for Inclusive Innovation (Partnership) is proud to announce the release of a new book, “Empowering Smart Cities through Community-Centred Public Private Partnerships and Innovations,” co-edited by Founding Executive Director Debra Lam and Andrea Fernández, Managing Director at C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group.
Today, cities are facing unprecedented challenges ranging from climate change and the digital divide to social injustice and inequality. “Empowering Smart Cities” offers a unique approach to addressing these challenges through the concept of Community-Centred Public Private Partnerships (CP3). This book is a comprehensive guide for policymakers and stakeholders seeking actionable solutions to urban issues.
At the core of the book are eight case studies showcasing CP3 models from around the world. These partnerships go beyond traditional public-private collaborations by fostering inclusive relationships and leveraging resources to empower communities. By sharing risk and responsibility among diverse stakeholders, including government authorities, researchers, business leaders, policymakers, and local citizens, CP3s enable cities to tackle complex urban challenges while working towards the greater public good.
The Partnership is an example of this new era of long-term Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). Founded on the principles of widespread economic opportunity, the Partnership embodies the potential of sustained cooperation between public and private entities. As cities worldwide grapple with increasingly complex urban challenges, the Partnership serves as a testament to the effectiveness of forging enduring alliances to address the most pressing issues of our time.
“We believe that the future of cities lies in collaborative efforts that prioritize the needs and aspirations of local communities,” says Debra Lam. “This book serves as a roadmap for building resilient, inclusive, and innovative cities that can thrive in the face of adversity.”
“The case studies we showcase highlight what can be achieved when cities set a strong vision and work in partnership with academia, the private sector and communities to deliver their goals,” added Andrea Fernández.

Author Bernard Grimm’s New Book, “Behind The Badge,” is a Riveting Autobiographical Account That Documents Moments from the Author’s Lengthy Career in Law Enforcement

With over thirty-nine years with the Lancaster City Bureau of Police and the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, author Bernard Grimm has seen it all. From high-speed car chases, shootouts, gruesome crime scenes involving murders and physical and sexual child abuse and murder of children and others. Full of short stories—some sad, some comical—“Behind The Badge” takes readers along as the author reminisces on some of the most impactful cases he encountered during his time on the force.
“This book, I can assure you, will be an easy read, and as such, I hope you do not fall asleep while reading it,” writes Grimm. “It will cover my history of twenty-six years with the Lancaster City Bureau of Police, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and over thirteen years of service with the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office.
“Some of the stories may be harder to handle, due to the nature of the content, but they will all, in effect, show you, the reader, what it is like being a law enforcement officer.
“It will also be a window, for those considering entering law enforcement, into what they may be getting into, and if they can’t handle the material found here, they may not have the fortitude for law enforcement.”
Published by Page Publishing, Bernard Grimm’s engaging series is a candid and emotionally raw look at what law enforcement work can look like in America, and how the author’s life was forever shaped by his dedication and service to his community.
Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “Behind The Badge” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

David J. Conley’s New Book, “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion,” Offers Readers a Fascinating New Look Into the Unanswered Question Surrounding Jfk’s Assisination

“In this book, there’s a little bit about me to show you that I know what I’m talking about and why I am writing this book,” writes Conley. “Next is about Joseph Kennedy, the father of John Kennedy. To know about John, you have to know about the past—that is, John F. Kennedy himself, before the assassination. Then came the day—the assassination. Now the good part is the story and the evidence. Next was who knew, followed by who was involved—the cover-up.
“Why am I writing this book? It has been many years, and people are still asking questions with no answers. Everybody with their opinions, who are supposedly experts in their fields, is not looking at the big picture. People want to know what really happened. After reading this, your opinion will probably be the same as mine.”
Published by Fulton Books, David J. Conley’s book will transport readers as they witness JFK’s assassination in a new way, offering a different perspective that will open their eyes. Expertly paced and enlightening, “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion” is sure to leave a lasting impression long after the final page.
