Abstract
Compared with traditional infrastructure, where public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been widely used, smart city is a new field for PPP model application. Currently, the PPP model of smart city projects (SCPs) is faced with a tremendous number of problems. In view of this, according to the hierarchy and synergy characteristics of smart city construction, SCPs can be divided into three categories: the single structure, the cross structure, and the overall structure. This paper matches specific PPP operation models for different types of SCPs. Furthermore, the problem tree and target tree analysis methods are adopted to address the problem encountered in the profit-making model, and ultimately the “E-PPP” model is established as an effective solution. In addition, the proposed model can be used as an innovative one to release the constraints of infrastructure and public service supply in smart cities.
