Public-Private Partnerships for Infrastructure

Public-Private Partnerships for Infrastructure, Third Edition explains how public-private partnerships are prepared, procured, financed, and managed from both public- and private-sector perspectives. As the use of public-private partnerships continues to develop and evolve worldwide, this leading resource synthesizes the latest approaches. The third edition has been updated throughout to reflect changes due to increased focus on assessing the case for different PPP approaches, evolving approaches to value for money, management of mature PPP contracts and their expiry, managing new and emerging risks such as climate resiliency, new market players, and more.

This book emphasizes a step-by-step approach within a comprehensive, cross-referenced format. It includes clear explanations of PPP evaluation, structuring and financing concepts for those new to the topic, and it uses detailed reference points for more experienced practitioners. It draws from the authors’ public and private sector experience and practice in PPP markets worldwide to provide a perspective on practical application of the key underlying principles.

This book is an invaluable resource for public sector PPP policymakers, project procuring authorities as well as private sector investors and lenders. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students studying the delivery and financing of large projects will also find this book an ideal reference for public policy issues and structured finance.
