Document Summary

Lippert and sleiman: ambassadors, business improvement district governance and knowledge of the urban. Business improvement district (bid) has become central to urban revitalisation projects. To effect its aspirations of creating a risk-free consumptive urban order and to justify its own governance role, the bid must watch, persuade and exchange with disparate institutions, including its mottled business constituency, police and city government. To do this, bid requires in-depth knowledge of specific features of the urban, especially publicly visible aspects deemed crucial to shaping and enhancing consumption practices and spaces. This knowledge is generated through ambassadors: these brightly uniformed, mobile teams are deployed to clear and cleanse the bumpy road to enhanced downtown consumption while collecting details of its physical contours and human travellers. Bid-affiliated ambassadors seek to identify and help remove obstacles to enhanced consumption by patrolling for crime and nuisance" behaviours: also seek to know and engage with business persons and consumers on the street.
