In present -day urban development, new models of public-private co-operation are applied locally in order to intensify the implementation of development projects. Such arrangements are generally discussed within the concept of partnership. There are certain mechanisms, such as legislation, which create structures for the public-private relations at the initial stages. The structuring mechanisms can be clarified by analysing the legally-defined planning instrument called "development area" and its local applications. How do the mechanisms structure such projects and partnerships? How do the mechanisms define the processes? To answer these questions, the interrelationship between structures and agencies in the formation of planning processes has to be understood.
