Description:
This study is a comprehensive and up-to-date review of public private partnership (PPP) projects at federal, Land and municipal level. It includes information on the distribution of PPPs, project types, investments, obstacles and prospects of success. The German Institute of Urban Affairs (Difu) has carried out this study on behalf of the PPP Task Force at the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Housing (BMVBW). The survey concentrated exclusively on "PPP projects for related infrastructure measures". So-called institutional PPPs involving companies with both public and private partners providing long-term services (e.g. the municipal Stadtwerke responsible for public services) and PPP projects in the areas of supply and waste disposal were intentionally excluded from analysis. The survey's main focus was on projects which had been planned or implemented since 2000. Since the survey targeted 1500 cities and municipalities and all rural counties (Landkreise), and achieved a response rate close to 70%, the findings paint a representative picture of municipal PPP projects. They also allow conclusions on trends at federal and Land level.
