MODERNIZATION OF COMMUNAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF URBAN AGGLOMERATIONS
Keywords:
urban agglomerations, communal infrastructure, modernization, cooperation of territorial communities, public-private partnershipAbstract
State of communal infrastructure, which plays an important role in the life support of large cities and agglomerations, currently does not allow fully and at a high level meeting the needs of population and business in water, heat and gas supply, transportation, lighting and beautification. This brings to the fore the need for its modernization through the development and implementation of relevant projects in practice. While it should be borne in mind that they are realized by combining the efforts of the territorial communities that make up the agglomeration and sharing the relevant resources. At the design development stage, one should be aware of the availability of resources and the possibility of their use and at the implementation stage there should be a rational management of the resources due to the relevant decisions. Financial provision is an essential condition for the projects implementation. It includes: investment component of the tariff for utility services, budgetary financing at the state and local levels and attraction of private investors on the basis of public private partnership. Effective budgetary financing at the local level is facilitated by decentralization of power and expansion of financial powers of local self government bodies. Strengthening the investment component of the tariff as a source of projects financing for the modernization of communal infrastructure is facilitated by improving the approaches to the formation of tariff structure and strengthening the control over the targeted use of funds for the needs of innovative development. Attraction of investments for the implementation of projects to modernize the communal infrastructure of urban agglomerations based on public private partnership will be facilitated both by the harmonization of Ukraine’s legislation on cooperation between territorial communities and the development of appropriate measures for its practical use and enhancement of investment attractiveness.
