Research Scope
The growing demands for urbanisation and focused sustainable development is required to be merged into a common goal for urban development activities throughout the world.In such a context, the concept of “smart city” has been identified as an ideal solution to achieve sustainable urban development and this in turn requires the development of smart infrastructure.In developing smart infrastructure, challenges often arise when sourcing investments and managing stakeholders. PPP is seen as a route to overcome many of those challenges.Therefore, the scope of the research is to develop PPP models for optimising and accelerating the development of smart infrastructure development projects.
