A list of projects and project summaries which use Leveraging Knowledge Generators as innovative sources of funding. Leveraging Knowledge Generators, eg science parks or innovation hubs. Co-location with universities or other generators of knowledge/capacity can attract new energy, innovation and higher rents while also creating opportunities for local land-owners.
Special economic zones, land zoning, using regulatory regimes, marketing and tax breaks can help leveraging regulatory changes. Below is a list of projects and project summaries which use Leveraging Regulatory Changes as innovative sources of funding.
Case studies on by-product Commercialization e.g. refuse derived fuel, methane capture, biochar, energy-from-waste, compost or recycling.
Infrastructure can create a virtual space, for example by incorporating a Municipal Geographic Information System (GIS) system into the e-governance system through PPP. The Municipal GIS aims to create, store, maintain, and facilitate retrieval of property data in digital format along with geocoordinates, se example below.
Urban congestion zone charges provide a method for reducing congestion, improving environmental impact, reducing accidents, and creating an additional revenue stream for transit projects in the zone.
Betterment levy are charges based on the specific benefit properties receives from public improvements.
Infrastructure projects should consider cost savings from e.g. building energy efficiency, LED streetlighting, rooftop or floating solar.
Results Based Payments from Third Parties e.g. Emissions Reduction Credits/offsets or Renewable Energy Certificates.
Some infrastructure is used intensively only at certain times, for example, sporting facilities or educational facilities, and these facilities can be used for revenue-generating purposes during off-periods.
