Construction companies will erect buildings; transport companies will bid for mass transit; energy, environmental control and waste recycling firms will all have roles, and much of the work will be parceled out to small business. The object is not only to raze and remake scabrous neighborhoods, but also to create private jobs, help small entrepreneurs and, not incidentally, to make money...
