Public-Private Partnerships: Case Studies in Infrastructure
Development demystifies this innovative solution to the challenges
of designing, financing, building, and operating major
infrastructure projects. In today's world, partnerships between
public agencies-federal, state, and local-and private companies are
an increasingly popular policy tool. At a time when infrastructure
in the United States and elsewhere is aging and public budgets are
shrinking, public-private partnerships (PPPs) permit planners to
leverage limited funds, while private firms embrace these
relationships as an unfolding and potentially profitable global
market. But what separates a successful partnership from one that
fails to deliver on its promise? In this book, Sidney Levy brings a
balanced perspective to the history and development of the PPP
movement. He outlines different approaches to defining and planning
a PPP, supplemented by a history of PPP toll roads in the United
States. He describes the key players in a PPP deal and provides
case studies of the projects in Virginia, Illinois, Florida,
Canada, and Mexico. This compendium of practical detail on
public-private partnerships is essential reading for civil
engineers, engineering managers, construction contractors,
developers, and government officials involved in or contemplating a
major infrastructure project. Book Reviews ...its comprehensiveness
makes it an excellent text for academic coursework in engineering,
business, finance, law, and government. Highly recommended.
