The changing face of infrastructure facilities management worldwide
is characterised by high demand for investments in renewal and
maintenance, governmental budget constraints and innovations in
information systems. The authors highlight the growing demand for
accurate, complete and continuous disclosure of information related
to management activities, expenditures, stock availability and
shadow prices. This study discusses how infrastructure facilities,
commonly considered as a public good, have been traditionally
funded by the public sector but that the efficiency of this
approach has come into question at the same time as the ability of
governments to leverage funds for new facilities and for
maintenance and rehabilitation of existing ones has decreased.
These factors, they argue, have led to increasing interest in
private sector participation in financing, building and operating
public infrastructure. The main purpose of this book is to: *
present recent theoretical and practical advances as well as new
concepts and paradigms in infrastructure systems * provide a
state-of-the-art overview of current research * stimulate new
research and innovative thinking on the interface between
infrastructure measurement and management. The book, written by
numerous experts in the field, will appeal to national and regional
infrastructure ministries and agencies, companies engaged in
infrastructure financing, construction, management and maintenance
as well as students at graduate level and above and researchers in
civil engineering, infrastructure planning and infrastructure
economics and management.
