Abstract
We stand on the brink of humanity’s most fundamental transformation to the built environment since the beginning of time. In communities around the world, existing governmental funds cover only a fraction of the cost needed to develop critical infrastructure, with local leaders given limited means and flexibility to adequately address deteriorating services to their communities. As a result, public-private partnerships have become key to addressing sub-national and municipal infrastructure challenges.
In authoritarian political systems, centralized planning has expedited reform processes to provide long-term support to infrastructure investments; meanwhile, democratic societies have lagged behind as complex checks and balances continue to impede decision-making, capital allocation, and the transfer of knowledge in critical infrastructure development.
