Public Private Partnership is a key issue in the construction industry - causing much concern among contractors, funders and facility managers. Demand has been building for a thorough analysis ...This edited book will familiarise both researchers and construction professionals working with public private partnerships (PPP) with the issues involved in the planning, implementation and day-to-day management of public private projects. It will show how current risk management methods can help the complex process of managing procurement via such partnerships.
