| Summary: | This case study showcases examples where
the “G20 Principles for Quality Infrastructure Investment
(QII)” have been operationalized in Japan`s urban
infrastructure projects. It highlights Fukuoka City, one of
the most prominent cities in Japan today. It reviews the
city’s efficient water management through Economic
Efficiency and Infrastructure Governance, two of the six G20
Principles for QII. A key factor for the city’s success was
adopting life-cycle costing as an underlying principle; the
city upgraded its water distribution pipe network with
polyethylene sleeves for life extension and went to great
length for leakage reduction. As a recent effort, the city
underwent procurement reforms to improve the technical
quality of public works. The implications are expected to
benefit policymakers and practitioners in developing countries. |
