Bridging the Gap: Public-Private Partnerships in Sustainable Building for Developing Countries

This review evaluates the effectiveness of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in advancing sustainable building projects in developing countries. It highlights key areas such as resource mobilization, expertise utilization, innovation, risk-sharing, and community impact. Findings show that PPPs attract private investment, complement public funds, and drive large-scale sustainable construction. They enhance technical expertise, foster knowledge transfer, and encourage the adoption of advanced technologies. Risk-sharing mechanisms reduce financial burdens, attracting more investors. Additionally, PPPs improve social outcomes, including job creation and community resilience. The review emphasises the need for supportive policies, capacity-building programs, and monitoring systems to strengthen PPPs in sustainable development. Further research should focus on comparative models and long-term impacts.
