Public-private partnership (PPP), Critical success factors (CSFs), green building (GB), construction industry.Abstract
The development and adoption of green building (GB) projects not only have environmental and social benefits, but also long-term financial benefits. However, one of the major obstacles of GB development is the lack to long-term financial support, and to meet this challenge of GB project development public-private partnerships (PPPs) could be the potential solution. Though, many studies have been published for identifying the success factors or crucial factors of PPP project in various aspects of construction industry, the systematic investigation of Critical success factors (CSFs) of PPP for developing GB projects remains unexplored. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a bibliometric systematic literature review on the CSFs of PPP projects and their significance in the success of GB project development. This study collected 14 articles from 2002 through October 2024, based on keyword search in SCOPUS. The co-occurrence analysis of the keywords of selected articles indicated that the critical success factors of PPP from these articles could be extensively helpful for the development of green building projects. The findings revealed 41 success factors that affect the effectiveness of PPPs in green building development, with the predominant categories being: Governance Factors, Economic Factors, Technical Factors, Financial Factors and Concession (Partnership) Factors. The analysis of CSFs in successful PPP projects can offer practical guidelines for researchers and professionals, helping them to design and implement effective PPP models that could enhance the successful implementation of PPP for green building development. The findings can also inform policymakers in creating supportive regulatory frameworks that encourage green building practices in the construction and real estate sectors.
