This book was released on 2006-08-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world there is a growing demand for high quality public services to support socio-economic development. Infrastructure is central to improving the level of public services and the quality of the built environment. But in key areas such as transport, energy, water, healthcare, education and communications, public resources are not sufficient to keep pace with this demand. As the public sector struggles to keep up, the private sector is increasingly involved in the procurement of economic and social infrastructure. Until now procurement strategies have often concentrated on the mechanisms and the ‘bricks and mortar’ without a thorough analysis of the processes and their implications for services. The result is that all too often infrastructure projects are implemented in an ad hoc and fragmented way. In this ground-breaking book, Rodney Howes and Herbert Robinson provide a holistic approach to infrastructure provision that facilitates infrastructure delivery aimed at continuously improving the level and quality of services. Critical issues of policy and strategy, implementation, and operational aspects are examined within the context of sustainability. By emphasising the importance of procuring infrastructure within an overall national or regional development policy and strategy, the authors have demonstrated the importance of linking investment and resource decisions to local social, economic and environmental needs. With each chapter carefully written to reflect part of the infrastructure delivery chain and illustrated with practical examples and case studies from around the world, this book offers a new blueprint for infrastructure investment and resource management.

This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience of the past decade confirms that the solution to infrastructure problems is not merely to expand capacity by making new investments. Much more systematic changes must be undertaken if service delivery is to attain the standards necessary to improve quality of life and allow economic output to expand more rapidly. This paper identifies several broad areas for reform and recommends a series of actions to attain effective service delivery. (Adapté du résumé de l'auteur).

This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding, the United States has understood the importance of infrastructure to the growth of a vibrant entrepreneurial economy. In the 19th century, canals, riverboats, and railroads provided the means to overcome geography and distance; The infrastructure marvels of the 20th century--high-speed interstate highways, a national electric grid, ubiquitous air connections, and the Internet--refined the goal of moving goods, people, and information quickly and cheaply; but it did not create a new paradigm. Consequently, at the beginning of the 21st century, the U.S. is faced with numerous questions regarding the shape of its economic future and the infrastructure systems needed to support continued economic growth, particularly when those systems are aged and often obsolete This book will trace the path of what are considered "civil infrastructure systems," that is, transport (land, water, and air), water supply and sanitation, power, and communications) from the nation's earliest days through the present. Rather than a traditional model for infrastructure provision, it will describe how most of these systems cycled between private and public ownership and back again, and how for many, the U.S opted not for State Owned Enterprises (SOE) but for a regime of private ownership subject to public regulation, thus freeing up scarce public capital for more appropriate community projects and providing private investment opportunities in nascent industries such as railroads, communications, and electric power.. Building on this strong foundation, public infrastructure investment in the 21st Century must be linked with broad national goals for the economy that people can readily understand and support. The primary purpose of this book is to present a 21st Century U.S. Infrastructure Strategy that will support continued economic growth and competitiveness.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This strategy report identifies broad directions the Bank's work should take in developing infrastructure in Europe and Central Asia. They include the following: 1) Help provide external capital in countries acceding to the European Union. 2) Select and design projects contributing to resolving infrastructure-wide problems. 3) Enable expansion of sector activities, by involving assistance partners. 4) Disseminate more effectively the experience accumulated by borrowers and the Bank, and contribute to the consensus-building. 5) Address urban transport problems. Other conclusions advanced are for the Bank to: refrain from promoting project preparation until the key parties in the country agree on reform strategies; choose eligibility criteria for participants; analyze planned progress and assure funds for operation and maintenance; focus on combining policy and institution building work critical for reducing the fiscal burden of the roads sector; focus on key environmental issues; systematically select and design transport projects tied to advancing trade facilitation; provide advice and financing for railway restructuring; develop other modes of transport; emphasize institutional development and financial strengthening of the water and sewage sector; assist with strengthening local governments, financing urban services, and undertaking cultural heritage projects; support urban land market development; support major private investments; and facilitate emergency reconstruction.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Hurricane Katrina so forcefully demonstrated, the nation's critical infrastructures-both physical and cyber-have been vulnerable to a wide variety of threats. Because about 85 percent of the nation's critical infrastructure is privately owned, it is vital that public and private stakeholders work together to protect these assets. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is responsible for coordinating a national protection strategy and has promoted the formation of government and private councils for the 17 infrastructure sectors as a collaborating tool. The councils, among other things, are to identify their most critical assets, assess the risks they face, and identify protective measures in sector-specific plans that comply with DHS's National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). This testimony is based primarily on GAO's July 2007 report on the sector-specific plans and the sector councils. Specifically, it addresses (1) the extent to which the sector-specific plans meet requirements, (2) the council members' views on the value of the plans and DHS's review process, and (3) the key success factors and challenges that the representatives encountered in

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The market for infrastructure is vast and, contrary to popular belief, the range of potential infrastructure investments is extremely broad. An investor who does not have a sufficient overview and insight into the infrastructure market or an awareness of the suitable investment opportunities and the risks they entail, will find it difficult to select the right investments. This book is a comprehensive guide to the subject, bringing together the topics of infrastructure investments, project finance and public private partnerships (PPPs), equipping investors with the necessary theoretical knowledge and background information as well as practical examples in order to further their understanding of the key aspects of infrastructure investments. It answers questions such as: How is infrastructure defined? Which sectors are classified as infrastructure, how are they categorised, and what are the differences between them? Is infrastructure an asset class in its own right? If so, what are its characteristics? What are the fundamental options for investing in infrastructure? What is a good starting point for institutional investors? How should infrastructure funds be evaluated? What risks do they entail and how can these risks be identified and assessed? How should they be structured in order to best allocate these risks? The book discusses the differing objectives and expectations of the parties involved and the conditions required by public principals and investors in order to enable these groups to overcome the ?language problems? they largely encounter. In addition to background knowledge and information on the latest developments in the individual subject areas, the book also explains the methodology of project finance in detail, both for traditional project finance and in the PPP context, establishing the key differences to other forms of financing, guiding readers through the various phases of project analysis on a step-by-step basis using practical examples. Well structured infrastructure investments can serve to improve the risk-return profile of an investor?s overall portfolio on account of their long term and their low level of correlation with traditional asset classes. This book will assist investors in their understanding of infrastructure investments, leading to a better informed portfolio. "A comprehensive and well-written overview of many relevant topics in the infrastructure sector; a useful guide for everyone involved or interested in the infrastructure area." Henk Huizing, Head of Infrastructure, PGGM "A comprehensive book that effectively marries the topics of infrastructure investing, project finance and PPPs as well as bridges the gap between the theoretical and the practical - the authors are to be commended on this work." Marc S. Lipschultz, Global Head of Energy and Infrastructure, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. "Quite a book and one that should definitely be part of the toolkit of those who are interested in the Infrastructure asset class. Had this comprehensive work been available ten years ago, no doubt, one or two of us certainly would have done things differently. So, let's keep it closely at hand as a guide for the future that helps us deliver even better outcomes for all stakeholders and enables us to further develop the asset class."

Adopting an approach informed by realism, this insightful book looks at the forces for the integration and fragmentation of the global infrastructure system. The authors undertake a thorough examination of the main internationalised infrastructure sectors: energy, transport and information. They argue that the global infrastructure system is a network of national systems and that state strategies exert powerful forces upon the form and function of this system.
