Event Summary

The Financial Solutions for City Resilience Conference brings together delegates from 20 cities, World Bank task team leaders, technical experts from global financial advisories, and private developers to discuss and refine infrastructure financing options in the urban resilience agenda. City delegates will have access to technical experts in areas of capital budgeting, municipal finance, land value capture, and PPPs/concessions, who will discuss concepts and methods of deploying private-sector financing in the resilience-focused capital investment plans. The Conference objective is to help cities navigate a range of options for deploying private capital in resilience building and identify opportunities of mobilizing private finance in cities’ capital plans.

The conference focuses on each type of financial instrument, based on case studies of how these instruments have been used in different markets. The event will culminate in a “shark tank” event on the final day where city leaders present their investment ideas to a panel of financial advisors who will give feedback on how to structure the resilience investment opportunities. The Conference outputs will be integrated into subsequent capital mobilization efforts with the aim to further elaborate and verify the feasibility of identified infrastructure transactions and advance with transaction structuring.

The conference is hosted by the World Bank’s City Resilience Program (CRP), which aims to catalyze longer term, more comprehensive, multi-disciplinary packages of technical and financial services, building the pipeline for “Bankable” resilience building projects at the city level. CRP’s focus on private capital mobilization stems from the need for the World Bank to better support developing cities to address a significant and increasing infrastructure financing gap and links to the Maximizing Finance for Development (MFD) agenda.[1] CRP focuses on three modalities for attracting private capital to urban infrastructure investments: borrowing from capital markets and commercial sources (direct lending), concessions structuring/PPP, and mobilizing equity and innovative financing instruments through Land Value Capture (LVC).

 

Pre-Conference Activities

The CRP private capital team will lead an external assessment to gain a better understanding of: 1) how the city government (or any level of national or sub-national government representing city interests in the transaction) has handled a PPP transaction; 2) details on precedent transactions, including industries and delivery structures; and, 3) factors which have hindered initiation and/or implementation of PPP transactions.

The CRP private capital team will lead an external assessment of the market and regulatory environment for transactions involving the monetization of city’s land and real assets. The assessment will focus on providing a better understanding of: 1) the real estate market environment and how it enables implementation of various land value capture tools; 2) transparency of land and real estate pricing; 3) the track record of cities’ engagement in direct negotiations with private investors including deployment of land-based financing tools (development contracts with infrastructure conditions, assessing impact fees, development charges, etc.).

1. City Creditworthiness Self-Assessment

The City Creditworthiness Self-Assessment (www.citycred.org) evaluates the quality of each city’s financial management processes and access to finance. The self-assessment takes 3-4 hours and should be completed by city officials with access to information pertaining to the city’s finances.

2. Exploring each City’s Track Record in Structuring PPPs

The CRP private capital team will lead an external assessment to gain a better understanding of: 1) how the city government (or any level of national or sub-national government representing city interests in the transaction) has handled a PPP transaction; 2) details on precedent transactions, including industries and delivery structures; and, 3) factors which have hindered initiation and/or implementation of PPP transactions.

3. Survey of Enabling Conditions for Land Value Capture

The CRP private capital team will lead an external assessment of the market and regulatory environment for transactions involving the monetization of city’s land and real assets. The assessment will focus on providing a better understanding of: 1) the real estate market environment and how it enables implementation of various land value capture tools; 2) transparency of land and real estate pricing; 3) the track record of cities’ engagement in direct negotiations with private investors including deployment of land-based financing tools (development contracts with infrastructure conditions, assessing impact fees, development charges, etc.).

All three activities will be completed for each city and circulated before the Conference, by June 30. The information collected throughout these assessments will be instrumental in tailoring the agenda of the Bangkok Conference to the specific needs of participating cities, including contents of working sessions, composition of subject-specific working groups, etc. The objective is to ensure that city delegates arrive at the conference fully prepared to discuss the concrete opportunities and concrete tools in financing urban resilience projects.

Case studies (First Round)
In-depth case studies will be presented concurrently in breakout rooms

Case study 1: How Durban City is catalyzing urban development and ensuring city resilience using partnership model with private partner leveraging on private capital participation

We will discuss how Durban city authorities (EMC) has formed a unique partnership with large private player THD (several million hectares of sugar farming land in Durban region) to catalyze city development. Practical examples of projects executed will be discussed including: 

  • Umhlanga Ridge New Town Centre A ‘greenfields’ mixed-use urban node within the Durban city-system undertaken by THD to assist in creating a more complex, poly-nucleated urban structure that breaks the mold of suburban sprawl and stand-alone ‘edge-city’ shopping malls: a return to the values and traditions of integrated, complex city-building. 
  • The Ntshongweni Integrated Urban Initiative A ‘greenfields’ 2200 ha new-town-in-town on an important freight corridor on the outer edge of the Durban city-region undertaken by THD with the very close policy involvement of both the Metropolitan authority (the EMC) and Provincial Government. The emphasis in planning has been on the integration of semi-rural, marginalized communities into a cohesive prospect of economic opportunity with principles of city sustainability being taken to unprecedented levels of innovation at scale.

Case study 3: Land and Real Estate Asset Management

Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) have a number of revenue sources including taxes, service fees and investment income – upto 50 income streams can potentially be leveraged. Cities are still evolving their approach to maximizing revenues from these various sources. The case will layout the various sources revenue; introduce high level levers for revenue maximization and asset & land monetization; and discuss how these levers were employed to actually increase revenues by over 30% in a middle eastern country.

Case studies 6: Leveraging Transit Assets through Land Value Capture

The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) is the primary transit authority for the city of Boston in the United States. The Boston transit system is the oldest in the United States, and as such is in a constant need of repairs, maintenance, and capital improvements.  Seeking to find new sources of revenue beyond ticket fares, the MBTA embarked on a landmark effort over 15 years ago to privatize its real estate operations.  The MBTA brought in a real estate and financial management firm to conduct asset and portfolio assessments to determine how to get more out of its real estate. Through creative uses of disposition, long-term leases, P3s, lease management, advertising and telecommunication upgrades, and other efforts, the MBTA has been able to raise an additional $600M in capital from real estate operations alone. This session will focus on how the MBTA has achieved this and discuss several specific case studies of LVC and strategic real estate portfolio management.

Case Study 7: Transit Oriented Development in Medellin and Honolulu

HR&A delivered a funding and governance strategy for the redevelopment and future operations of Metro de Medellín’s Parque Berrío Station and surrounding open space in Medellín, Colombia’s historic center. The team presented funding and governance options reliant on private sector participation and the use of value capture tools. Options included potential leases to private retail operators, optimization of revenue from advertising, and the creation of a business improvement district. On behalf of the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART), HR&A assessed high-level and order of magnitude estimates of value from TOD and other non-farebox opportunities as part of a rapid go/no-go assessment of P3 feasibility for the construction of the final segment of the Honolulu Rail Transit Project and future operations and maintenance of the entire system. HR&A will conduct a market scan for multifamily residential in planned station areas on City and HART-owned properties with high potential for multifamily-focused TOD and prepare a series of high-level stabilized year feasibility analyses. HR&A will explore potential revenue-generating uses beyond TOD that may be delivered within, or in coordination with, stations and the path of the rail guideway.

Case Study 8: Financing Solid Waste Infrastructure: Thames Tideway Project

The Thames Tideway Tunnel (“TTT”) project is a 25km tunnel to run beneath the River Thames in the centre of London. TTT will connect 34 existing combined sewer overflows and prevent 70 million cubic tonnes of sewage from running into the Thames annually. The sewer will be built and operated by a private company, using private finance. The innovative PPP structure opened the door to £3bn of private finance and the case study will focus on the mechanisms used to transfer risk, which enabled it to be financed largely using private finance.

Case Study 9: From Crisis to Resilience: How Cape Town Averted its Water Crisis

Cape Town experienced one the worst droughts in recorded history. Three years of unseasonably low rainfall saw dam levels drop below 20 percent and the prospect of day zero, when taps ran dry, becoming a reality. Tourism, agriculture and wine industries, all key drivers of the economy were badly impacted. The City’s comprehensive response, coordinated with stakeholders (national and provincial government, business, general public and civil society) helped avert the looming crisis and in the process built resilience to withstand future events of similar magnitude.

Case Study 10: Implementation of energy efficiency measures in the public street lighting system with private sector participation

Public street lighting system has a direct impact on the life of every citizen. It not only makes the streets safer for the citizens in the night, increased transportation and commercial activities also result in an increase in the income of the people. In India, the street lighting system  has been constrained by poor quality infrastructure, sub-standard service delivery levels and high electricity consumption / bills. This presents an opportunity to improve the service delivery levels and reduce the energy consumption by implementing energy efficiency measures. The Indian cities have focused on implementing such projects with private sector participation and the case study presents the prevalent implementation models, project development cycle and benefits to the cities post implementation of energy efficiency projects.

Case Study 11: Private Sector Participation in Municipal Solid Waste Projects: Dublin Energy-from-Waste facility

Deloitte served as financial advisor to the City of Dublin’s waste management PPP, a 12-year $600 million transaction. Dublin Waste to Energy PPP Project contract was executed in Sept 2014 between Covanta Holding and Dublin City Council to build, own and operate a new 600,000 metric tonne per year, 58 net megawatt Energy-from-Waste facility in Dublin, Ireland . The project agreement executed with DCC will cover 45 years of facility operations, after which facility ownership will revert to DCC.  Under the project agreement, Covanta will be responsible for sourcing waste supply for the facility, which will consist of residential, commercial and industrial waste streams from Dublin and surrounding areas. During the first 15 years of operations, Dublin will share in any upside or downside in facility waste revenue relative to a baseline projection. Dublin will also share in energy revenue generated by the project for the full 45 year term of the contract. The procurement commenced in 2002, preferred tenderer was appointed in 2007 and financial close was achieved in 2014.  The reason for delays included political and environmental opposition, delays in financing during global financial crisis and changes in the lead Sponsor.  All of these were overcome and the facility is now operating successfully in Dublin.

Case Study 12: Transambiental, IFC’s 1st investment in a private mass transport system operator

Until 2015, Cartagena, Colombia had a chaotic, disorganized, and inefficient transport system, in need of a complete overhaul. In Nov 2015, Transcaribe - Cartagena’s Bus Rapid Transit System, started operations. Transcaribe was structuring using a PPP model with the following components: (a) the infrastructure was provided by the City; and (ii) separate private concessions for the provision of the fleet and its operation & maintenance, the system’s fare collection, and the construction of its maintenance facilities. The case study will cover IFC’s experience in providing long-term financing to Transambiental, one of the system’s private fleet operators, including the main risks & issues from a lender’s perspective.

Case Study 13: Case Study of Korea: land policies that led to successful city development

Korea’s land policies were goal-driven initiatives to support the economic development plans carried out by the government in the past. And like any country undergoing industrialization and urbanization, they also focused on challenges like speculation or environmental protection, and the role of the private sector in development. With the digitization of land information, policies are geared toward more open and transparent information, giving the public more access to information for healthier real estate transaction and empowering the local governments with an administration system that secures sound taxation for the cities. 

The session will present some of the key policies (like land valuation system, land price system, or land development promotion act) that contributed to the success of Korea’s land and urban development. There will also be a short presentation on the Korea Land Information System, which provide the data for the real estate management system today.

Case studies 15: PPP Viability for Mombasa, Kenya 2nd Nyali Bridge 

Mombasa is Kenya’s second biggest city and East Africa’s largest sea port. The existing Nyali Bridge was built in 1979 from the Government of Japan, and served the city for 35 years. It provided the only direct link between Mombasa North Coast Mainland and Mombasa Island. 

The 2nd Nyali Bridge was planned to reduce traffic congestion, and create a second direct access route; therefore, Mombasa explored a PPP for the development, operation, and maintenance of the bridge. Deloitte conducted a feasibility study to test the viability of PPP for the 2nd Nyali bridge project.

City Rapid Capital Assessments Results

A key feature of CRP is leveraging the WBG’s balance sheet to deliver greater resources to cities and boost bankability of cities’ capital investment programs in cities. This includes securing co-financing from other multilateral development banks and bilateral agencies and maximizing opportunities for crowding in private capital around each investment program.

For the purpose of this assignment, private sector participation in urban infrastructure investments is grouped into three primary modalities as follows:

  1. Direct lending to a government entity responsible for administering, provision and maintenance of public infrastructure (e.g., general obligation lending, such as through purchase of general obligations bond, as well as structured obligation lending and sub-sovereign commercial debt financing);
  2. Public-private partnerships (PPP)/concession that encompass various mechanisms of joint delivery of infrastructure projects with use of public and private funds.
  3. Land value capture, which is a broad set of transaction mechanisms that help public entities to capture land value increases associated with infrastructure upgrades.

The first step toward understanding opportunities and roadblocks for private capital investment in urban infrastructure requires analysis of baseline conditions for infrastructure financing. This indicative assessment represents an initial step for task teams in analyzing local conditions for unlocking private capital for urban infrastructure investment.

This assessment provides a high-level overview of the city on the basis of how respective national and subnational regulatory frameworks empower the city to access domestic and international capital markets, as well as understanding how national and local market fundamentals support leveraging private capital. Opportunities for attracting private capital financing are grouped into three main sources: direct lending from commercial sources, PPP/concessions structuring, and mobilizing equity through land-value capture.

This documents presents stop-lights charts for each city participating in the Assessment as well as cross-city summary, indicating prevalent color-coding and related scoring in each of the private sector mobilization modalities: bonds, bank loans, PPP/Concessions, and land-value capture.
