| Abstract |
The concept of smart infrastructure is derived from the idea of smart city which is described as a comprehensive system with different elements such as people, governance, environment, economy, mobility and living conditions of a given geographical space with efficient ICT that promote smart sustainable environment. The improvement of efficiency, quality and affordable costs of providing city services to be a smart city requires huge financial investments therefore; the cooperation between the public, private sectors and civil society become inevitable to cover the cost of this trend. This paper discusses the participation of public-private partnerships (PPPs) with the civil society to provide the finance and (intelligent) technology for the infrastructure by innovative solutions according to the available recourses and technology in the countries to achieve social, environmental and economic sustainability. Smart infrastructure for cities is adapted by introducing technology and builds smarter solutions to meet the requirements of society to avoid exploding of the existing infrastructure because of the expected tremendous pressure on it. This paper focuses on the smart city infrastructure and PPPS process to achieve smart infrastructure. |
