Description
Summary:The article provides methodological approaches to a comprehensive assessment of the state of the road and communal infrastructure as the main components of the urban environment. Outcomes of the study indicate a low level of technical state of communal facilities of the Central Federal District (CFD) administrative centers. The conducted study allows distinguishing three groups of administrative centers with different levels of infrastructure development. The author comes to the conclusion that the development of targeted programs at the level of municipalities is required in order to guarantee timely financing of measures for the development and modernization of engineering systems of the housing and utility infrastructure. A public-private partnership can become one of the efficient mechanisms for raising investment in the projects of modernization of the road and communal infrastructure of the urban economy. Raising private investment at the level of municipalities requires extending guarantees for investors in public-private partnership (PPP) projects, including those in the fulfillment of obligations of public-law entities, as well as developing special mechanisms at the state level for subsidizing municipal entities for the implementation of PPP projects.
