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.

This unique Companion comes not only most timely, but is also most relevant to anybody involved in planning, financing, constructing and maintaining transport infrastructures in both industrialized and emerging countries. Definitely a must-read! -- Matthias Finger, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey A great addition to the body of knowledge in establishing a high-performance public-private partnership (P3) framework for delivering infrastructure systems. A comprehensive source to guide researchers, practitioners, and policy decision makers to think strategically about the benefits of public-private partnership (P3) and effectively manage risks throughout various phases of project delivery from planning, finance, and design into construction, maintenance, and handover phases of P3 infrastructure projects. -- Baabak Ashuri, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA This timely and well-organized book provides an important interdisciplinary perspective on transport infrastructure. It connects theory and practice across crucial themes such as regulation, governance, financing, and lifecycle performance. By focusing on resilience, equity, and institutional adaptability, it offers valuable insights for an industry grappling with the urgent challenge of decarbonization. -- Joísa Dutra, Getúlio Vargas Foundation, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
