Public Private Partnerships for Transportation Infrastructure Delivery

Abstract

The term Public Private Partnerships includes different forms of collaboration between the public and the private sector. These formulas are adopted in a constantly increasing number of countries all over the world in order to overcome the chronic lack of funding and ensure the delivery of infrastructure projects. The paper illustrates the vital role of cooperation between public bodies and private entities in the delivery of public transportation infrastructure. In particular, it focuses on toll roads and highways. Key factors of success and risk are identified and illustrated through five case studies from Chile, Hungary, South Africa-Mozambique, United Kingdom and California.

Project Selection and Transparency Factors in Housing Public-Private Partnerships in Nigeria

“…The evolution of housing PPPs in the different countries can be linked to evidence in the literature (Abdul- Aziz and Jahn-Kassim, 2011;UN-HABITAT, 2006;Madden, 2011;Taiwo, 2015) showing that PPPs have great potentials to improve access to decent and affordable housing to households with critical housing needs. This view is of course linked to the success of PPPs in infrastructure provision in the different countries as reported in previous studies (see Aziz, 2007;Leccis, 2015;Sanda, Daniel and Akande, 2016;Osei-Kyei and Chan, 2016).…”
