“…The current paper aimed to advance the present state of knowledge regarding what SD modelling and theory has provided to the thematic umbrella of PPP projects. Although literature so far includes reviews regarding PPP projects (Bao, Chan, Chen, & Darko, 2018;Cosenz & Noto, 2016;Cui, Liu, Hope, & Wang, 2018;Tang et al, 2010;Wang, 2014) or the application of SD models in the transportation and health sectors (Katsaliaki & Mustafee, 2011;Shepherd, 2014), a specific review that focuses on SD approaches in the field of PPP/PFI projects and their characteristics does not exist. Therefore, the current review indicates the necessity for further SD approaches to life cycle cost-sustainable planning and operation of several PPP types.…”

Increased complexity has been recognized as a dominant characteristic of public–private partnerships (PPPs). In this article, we review system dynamics (SD) approaches to the PPP field because SD modelling can support the policymaking process in systems with increased structural and functional complexity. Although papers published in journals and conferences have documented SD approaches to PPP problems, there appears to be a lack of systematically reviewing what they have already provided. The objectives are to compare the findings of the studies to provide insights for directing further PPP research with the use of SD. To achieve the review objectives, we categorize the papers by the problem topic raised and provide a summary of particular insights. Problem topics include construction risk assessment, risk allocation, project financing, performance of infrastructure, demand forecast, procurement strategies, and strategic policy at national levels. The paper concludes with recommendations for future SD applications.

“…PPPs are used to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of delivering infrastructure and to offer the potential to improve economic, social, and environmental sustainability (Pinz, Roudyani, & Thaler, ). The United Nations (UN) has made PPPs a high priority as a vehicle to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) (Cui, Liu, Hope, & Wang, ; Hueskes, Verhoest, & Block, ). Therefore, PPPs should interface with the concept of sustainable development (Hancock, Ralph, & Ali, ).…”

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been increasingly adopted in China. Sustainability of PPPs has become a priority for a sustainable development of PPPs. Most prior studies focus on sustainable implementation of PPP projects. Few research efforts have been done to examine the impacts of PPPs to sustainability from an external perspective and a more macro geographical scale. Meanwhile, the social aspect of the sustainability of PPPs has not been widely studied. Therefore, this study aims to propose a social sustainability contribution evaluation system (SSCES) for PPPs to evaluate PPPs' contribution to regional social sustainability at the institutional level. An indicator system of the SSCES for PPPs was developed, which included 8 requirements for socially sustainable development and 33 social sustainability indicators. The weights of indicators were determined by using the analytic hierarchy process method. The results indicate that, in the context of China, promoting peopleoriented urbanization in PPPs can help enhance regional social sustainability. This study provides a useful evaluation tool for various stakeholders to evaluate the sustainability of PPPs from an institutional level, especially for local governments to review current PPP polices and make improvements.

“…PPP has been used as an important strategy to deliver public infrastructure (Hodge & Greve, 2007). Private sectors not only provide funding in the infrastructure development but also contribute its expertise and experience to engender innovation and develop a sustainable asset (Cui, Liu, Hope, & Wang, 2018). Essentially, considering the continuous call for global economic integration and the introduction of the "Belt and Road" initiative by the Chinese government, transnational PPP (TPPP) has now become the preferred form of procuring PPP projects in both developed and developing countries (Yu, Chan, Chen, & Darko, 2017).…”

Developing a project sustainability index for sustainable development in transnational public–private partnership projects

During the last couple of years, sustainability has become topical in transnational public–private partnership (TPPP) projects primarily because of the enormous impact TPPP projects have on the environment, economic, and well‐being of people. This paper aims to develop a model that could be used to evaluate the sustainability levels of TPPP projects. The proposed model consists of four categories of social responsibility factors; these include economic, environment, social, and people‐oriented factors. Of the four categories, social factors obtained the highest coefficient (i.e., 0.255) in the TPPP sustainability index equation. The substantive model will enable practitioners to quantify the sustainability levels of TPPP projects prior to their implementations. Moreover, the outputs of this study inform private investors of the key areas to focus on to enhance sustainable development through TPPP project implementations.
