Abstract

Public Private Partnership (PPP) is an approach adopted to expand the economic value of infrastructure outputs. Many researchers have explored the application of PPP to improve the efficiency of infrastructure delivery. Although interests in reviewing general trends and diverse topics of the PPP literature have increased over the years, there is a lack of a systematic review of the PPP literature from urban infrastructure projects in China. The purpose of this study is to analyze the research status and possible future studies from the viewpoint of urban infrastructure projects in China under public private partnership. The review is conducted by searching related papers from the leading construction management journals, then classifying them into distinct type of urban infrastructure projects applied with PPP in China to facilitate further discussion on significant research topics. The findings show that education and urban development, attracting uneven attention from researchers, meanwhile transportation, water supply finding as the key factor driving the urban infrastructure projects under PPP in China. The outcomes of this study reveal Urban infrastructure under public private partnership still facing some challenges such regional corruption, risk factors and short-term uncertainty, which will be the future research trends.
