Those centers are 1) set with designed office within historic or modern building in the central part of the region, 2) lead by experts, and 3) participated and funded by multi entities including government, private companies or stakeholders. This paper focuses on urban centers by organizational structure typology, and look through five cases which are Pavillon de L'arsenal, Urban Center Bologna, Architectuurcentrum Amsterdam, New London Architecture, and Urban Center Metropolitano in Turin, to reveal the methods to establish and organize by publicprivate partnership formulation effectively in these municipal regions.
