In recent years, the role of the private sector and civil society in local economic development has changed significantly. Business and civil society were seen as part of the development problem, whereas over the past couple of years they have increasingly been recognised as key players in the local economic development discourse.

A spatial cross-section partnership model is actively being promoted through this paper in the belief that it contains a valuable win-win potential. Active and structured collaborative relations between the various sectors of society are believed to increase the possibilities of tackling the pressing social, economic and environmental challenges and make important contributions to societal development as well as benefit the various partners in the collaboration.
