More about his research
The concept of sustainable infrastructure has recently become popular in the field of infrastructure development. There have been a growing number of studies on sustainable infrastructure, however there remains limited comprehensive knowledge on the critical factors enabling sustainable infrastructure development. Specifically, no study has reviewed the enabling factors focusing on finance and governance aspects, despite them being imperative for realizing sustainable infrastructure development and technical solutions. Another significant research gap is that there is limited evidence on and understanding of how the financial arrangements and governance arrangements operate to realize sustainability in infrastructure projects in developing Southeast Asian countries. To address these research gaps, the research aims to deepen understanding of financial and governance enabling factors for sustainable infrastructure development through an extensive literature review and then to investigate how they operate to realize sustainable infrastructure by analyzing real infrastructure project case studies in developing Southeast Asian countries.
