This book presents an analysis of why some large infrastructure
projects are delayed or compromised and offers important insights
into the better delivery of future projects. It provides an
important reaction to the ambitious EURO315 billion investment plan
devised by the European Commission, wherein Europe's infrastructure
is a key investment target. Germany is adopted as a focus, as
Europe's largest economy, and a nation that has seen significant
delays and tensions in the delivery of key infrastructure projects.
The contributions to this volume demonstrate various patterns for
infrastructure assets and illustrate how factors such as poor
project governance, early planning mistakes, inappropriate risk
management and unforeseen technological challenges influence
delivery. The in-depth case studies on the Berlin Brandenburg
Airport, the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, and offshore wind parks show
how project delivery can face massive problems, and illuminating
solutions are offered to these problems. Overall, the case of
Germany also offers the opportunity to assess various new forms of
project delivery, such as public-private partnerships (PPP), and
the risks and opportunities of ambitious first-mover 'pioneer'
projects. The book will be of great interest for scholars and
upper-level students of human geography, business and management,
as well as policy makers.
