Zuhair Hamzah, Executive Manager at Tamlik Limited, said “public private partnership (PPP) is an ideal vehicle that can open up more investment opportunities in public sector projects, in general and in the real estate sector, in particular. However, for it to be successful, we need to identify the reasons why it is being pursued, is it to genuinely establish robust partnerships or is it to off load a burden? In any case, for PPP to be successful, it needs the supporting legal, regulatory and financial mechanisms.
These mechanisms are essential as they will allow for greater transparency and efficiency.” Commenting on their first participation at a Cityscape event, Demetrios Agrios, senior project manager, Leman Project Management, said “Cityscape provides excellent exposure for exhibitor's products and services to both existing and future customers, moreover, Cityscape gives insight into market opportunities.” – SG
