This course deals with the planning, appraisal and evaluation of large infrastructure projects for the transportation of people and/or goods. This includes how decisions are made at different stages in large infrastructure projects and the multi-actor relationships between public and private partners.
The topics that will be addressed are the following:
- Role of public private partnerships and multi-actor analysis
- Decision-making: risks and uncertainties
- Ex-ante evaluation of mega-projects
- Wider economic impacts of mega-projects
This course is taught by means of combi lectures. For each lecture a different topic is prepared by the students at home. By means of detailed instructions provided by the lecturer, the students are expected to work independently on pre-prepared study materials and assignments outside the class room. In the class room, the students and lecturer discuss the prepared topic more in-depth.
