Abstract
Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are an increasingly familiar component of the management of places and the delivery of some services.
However, how do we know if they succeed?
An extended framework for the evaluation of BIDs is developed and then used in primary research on the Pathfinder BIDs in Scotland. The proposed framework, incorporating less tangible aspects of BIDs operations, appears to capture broad dimensions of activities, outcomes, impacts and processes.
The Scottish experience shows limitations in traditional evaluation of BIDs and the benefits of an extended evaluation framework.
