城市化的速度和规模给世界各国政府在城市公共基础设施的实现、维护和运营方面提出了严峻的挑战。需要这些基础设施来跟上生活水平并为可持续发展创造条件。由于缺乏公共资金和提供公共服务的效率低下，因此出现了鼓励私人各方将其资源投资于城市公共基础设施的倡议。然而，私营部门的参与带来了一系列新的挑战。对私营部门注重短期投资回报与实现可持续性目标所需的长期前景是否相容的关切抵消了潜在的好处。在对有关私营部门参与城市基础设施项目经验的文献进行回顾的基础上，本文确定了有助于或阻碍私营部门参与城市基础设施项目与提高城市环境可持续性目标协调的治理实践。
The speed and scale of urbanization provide serious challenges for governments all over the world with regard to the realization, maintenance, and operation of public urban infrastructures. These infrastructures are needed to keep up with living standards and to create conditions for sustainable development. The lack of public funds and the inefficiencies of public service provision have given rise to initiatives to stimulate private parties to invest their resources in public urban infrastructures. However, private sector participation creates a whole range of new challenges. The potential benefits are countered by concerns about the compatibility of the private sector‘s focus on short-term return on investment with the long-term perspective needed to realize sustainability targets. On the basis of a review of literature on experiences with private sector participation in urban infrastructure projects, this article identifies governance practices that help or hinder the reconciliation of private sector participation in urban infrastructure projects with the objective to increase the sustainability of the urban environment.
