The Elgar Companion to Transport Infrastructure Projects

This Companion examines the myriad ways in which transport infrastructure projects are being affected by global megatrends. Leading scholars address how urbanisation, climate change, technological disruption and fiscal constraints are collectively challenging traditional models of planning, delivery and operation.
This Companion examines the myriad ways in which transport infrastructure projects are being affected by global megatrends. Leading scholars address how urbanisation, climate change, technological disruption and fiscal constraints are collectively challenging traditional models of planning, delivery and operation.

Integrating economic, technical and policy-oriented perspectives, chapters explore three key dimensions: planning, construction and financing. Contributing authors evaluate how transport infrastructure projects are conceived and legitimised in different regulatory and institutional environments, particularly within public-private partnerships. They investigate the construction, maintenance and renewal of transport assets on an operational level, highlighting how they can be managed more efficiently and sustainably. By analysing empirical evidence on cost performance and fiscal outcomes, the book outlines the impact of various models on project outcomes, risk allocation and the long-term value of infrastructure.

Providing a comprehensive analysis of current research and directions for future inquiry, The Elgar Companion to Transport Infrastructure Projects is a valuable resource for scholars and students of civil engineering, public economics and public administration. Policymakers and practitioners will similarly benefit from its actionable guidance on planning and management.
