Abstract

The article argues that the U.S. struggles with modernizing its infrastructure due to insufficient investment and a lack of standardized legal frameworks for public-private partnerships (P3s). While P3s offer a promising alternative to traditional financing by allocating risks and generating efficiencies, the U.S. faces challenges due to a patchwork of state-level laws and procurement practices. The article suggests that adopting federal guidelines for P3s, drawing lessons from successful models in the UK and Australia, could streamline infrastructure financing, attract private investment, and enhance project efficiency.
