Business improvement districts (BIDS) are a form of special purpose government used by cities to promote an improved commercial climate in a defined area. The growth in the number of BIDS nationwide in recent years has been impressive, with a mere handful of districts in the late 1970s currently numbering over 500 in the US. The increasing role of BIDS in urban service delivery and place management has not come without controversy. The controversies surrounding BIDS have tended to rest in three general areas: their privatization of public space and criminal justice services; their accountability to the public; and lastly, whether they pursue an equitable model of economic growth and public service delivery. This work employs a case study methodology that examines the political, economic and public safety impacts of BIDS. An array of primary and secondary data sources are used to offer two detailed case studies of BIDS in Philadelphia and San Diego. These case studies include a general description of these cities' redevelopment efforts; a description of their use of BIDS; an evaluation of the impact of two BIDS within each city; and a concluding assessment of each city's use of I3lDs as instruments fir economic development and public service delivery.
