The book includes two detailed case studies which apply the concepts introduced in the book to examples of infrastructure assets financed in varying industries and geographic regions. Financing Infrastructure Projects will provide the reader, whether they are an engineer, a student of finance, or someone starting out in the banking industry, with a full understanding of 'why and how' infrastructure projects use finance as a method of procurement.

A very useful glossary of financial terms is provided. The different types of public–private partnerships (PPP) are described together with a summary of how they can be structured. The influence of financial and foreign exchange markets is also described in detail. Typical risk in the procurement of infrastructure projects is explained, with a breakdown in terms of financial and non-financial risks. I found the case studies particularly valuable: one a PPP school in the UK and the other a project in the Middle East. While the book does not give all the answers to funding an infrastructure project, it is certainly a must-read for any civil engineer involved in the early stages of project development as well as those responsible for financial delivery. -- Stuart Ross, Arup, UK
