Public-private partnerships (PPP) are a key means for many national governments to fund and develop public buildings without government expense. PPP entails large investment sums for contractors and funders and hence high risks. This book provides an international overview of PPP in different countries. It helps to develop a strategic view, drawing on lessons from different national backgrounds.
