“…Over the past two decades, the capacity of the Chinese government to provide public services on their own in an effective and efficient way is being questioned and reassessed at various levels and in different form. The main arguments stress that not only are government resources invariably inadequate but also that the quality and efficiency of the services they provide are very often rather poor (Pessoa 2008). Public services are frequently seen as ineffective in resource allocation and poor in management.…”

Abstract. In recent years, China needs far more financing for transportation infrastructure than can be provided by the government alone. Meanwhile the capacity of the Chinese government to provide public services on its own in an effective and efficient way is being questioned and reassessed at various levels. Accordingly, the involvement of private investors in the development of Metropolitan Transportation Systems (MTS) has been promoted by the Chinese public sector by means of adopting the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. However, China's dynamic and complex political, financial, legal and regulatory environment makes the private sector adjust to accommodate the existing regime by way of understanding the driving factors in PPP applications for improving the chances of project success. This paper presents two case studies in China's MTS. Based on a case study and comprehensive literature review, 15 driving factors associated with PPP projects from the perspective of the Chinese public sector have been identified. A structured questionnaire survey targeting the public sector has been conducted to seek, analyze and integrate its perception of the driving factors. Through statistical analysis of the relative significance of each of these driving factors, the writers determined five common major dimensions of the Chinese public sector's purpose in developing PPP schemes, and the key factors that quantify each purpose. The establishment of the measures for these objectives and the key factors that quantify each of these purposes will likely be useful in encouraging private participation in infrastructure management and directing/concentrating efforts of the private sector to deliver quality public services under mutually beneficial long-term contractual arrangements.

“…According to Hall and Hubbard (1996, p. 153), while there is a new vocabulary of cities as 'growth machines', of city advertising as 'place making' and of redevelopment as 'revitalization', it is not clear as to how fundamental the shift to entrepreneurism has been. This argument is particularly resonant in cities in the global South where there is a huge deficit in infrastructure funding and governments remain the main source of financing accounting for 70% with the private sector at 22% and official development assistance 8% (Pessoa 2008). Furthermore, there is little consensus as to how effective the new modes of governance are at addressing the fiscal and social problems associated with the modern urban crisis and the growing social polarizations in many cities (Hall and Hubbard 1996).…”

“…There is a pressing need to install new infrastructure in cities in the South in addition to maintaining old ones but finance is a major problem (Pieterse and Hyman 2014;Pessoa 2008;Kirkpatrick and Parker 2004). As observed, cities in developing countries require far more financing for infrastructure than can be provided by domestic public institutions (Pessoa 2008).…”

In today's globalized world, mega infrastructure projects have emerged as one of the most popular strategies for attracting private capital and repositioning cities on the competitive landscape. The Lagos Megacity Project (LMCP) was launched to address a longstanding infrastructure crisis and to reinvent Lagos as a modern megacity. Using the LMCP as a case study, the paper examined the challenges facing the funding of mega infrastructure projects. Special attention is given to how capital is mobilized, the kinds of alliances or networks found and what gets prioritized. The paper observed that the alliance formed between the federal, Lagos and Ogun state governments to mobilize public funds quickly unraveled largely due to disputes traceable to the apportioning of fiscal and political responsibilities and the distribution of functions between the different tiers of government. Under the LMCP, disputes emerged between the federal government and the Lagos State Government (LSG) over who was responsible for what. A history of opposition politics and a highly politicized resource allocation system further made cooperation between the two particularly difficult. Furthermore, the LMCP signalled a renewed drive by the LSG to attract private investments through publicprivate partnership. The paper noted a host of problems but crucially there is a preference for elite projects, a practice that is reinforcing socio-spatial exclusion and confirms the persistent inequalities that accompany neoliberal and modernist projects. At the broadest level, the paper points to how modernist projects are fractured or undermined by specific ideologies and practices.

“…Tačiau kaip rodo daugelio šalių praktika, tinkamai parengus sutartį tarp valstybės (savivaldybės) ir privačios kompanijos bei joje apibrėžus visas atsakomybės ir įsipa-reigojimų sritis, tokio pavojaus nelieka -valstybė moka privačiajam sektoriui už faktiškai vartotojams suteiktas paslaugas, atitinkančias sutartyje apibrėžtą kokybę, o už nekokybiškas paslaugas numatomos sankcijos (Li et al 2005;Roumboutsos, Anagnostopoulos 2008;Eaton et al 2006;Wang et al 2000;Pessoa 2008;Meng 2002;Meidutė 2008b). Kaip teigia Chiara ir Garvin (2008), pasirinkus tokią bendradarbiavimo strategiją, privatus sektorius gali kur kas veiksmingiau perimti jai nebūdingų funkcijų vykdymą.…”
