Abstract

ABSTRACT Municipal-private partnerships (MPP), including BOT concessions, joint municipal-private corporations, and leveraging municipally owned land to promote private investment, have become major tools of urban development, but the 2008 global crisis seemed to have changed attitudes towards their application. Based on documents and open-ended interviews, our study examines the apparent retreat from MPP in Israel. Results show that BOT lost appeal in the 2010s, particularly among fiscally sound cities and water and sewage municipal corporations, not because of an ideological rejection, but largely due to low interest rates that eliminated its financial motivation. Regulatory hurdles also played a role in luring municipalities away from MPP in the centralised Israeli context. However, BOT remains in the municipal development toolbox and the study points at ‘maturation’, moving away from the financial motive to the capacity motive, mainly in fields out of municipal core tasks and in projects sufficiently isolated from external uncertainties.

以色列地方政府公私合作关系的兴衰

市政与私营合作(MPP)，包括BOT特许权、市政与私营联合公司以及利用市政拥有的土地促进私人投资，已成为城市发展的主要工具，但2008年的全球危机似乎改变了人们对其应用的态度。基于文献和开放式访谈，我们的研究考察了以色列MPP的明显退却。结果表明，BOT在2010年代失去了吸引力，特别是在财政状况良好的城市和供水和污水市政公司中，不是因为意识形态上的拒绝，而是主要由于低利率消除了其金融动机。在以色列中央集权的背景下，监管障碍也在诱使市政当局远离MPP方面发挥了作用。然而，BOT仍然在市政发展工具箱中，研究指出了“成熟”，从财政动机转向能力动机，主要是在市政核心任务之外的领域和与外部不确定性充分隔离的项目中。
