| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Municipalities carry an important mandate to assure the availability of infrastructure-related services in such fields as energy, water, transport, sewage, waste, communication or recreation for its citizens to meet their basic necessities of living. It is a matter of debate whether these services should be provided by the municipality or private, profit-seeking enterprises. Arguments of public interest and social welfare contrast with arguments for commercial viability and economic welfare. The question is, how to integrate both views in a compatible, examinable manner to assess differing business schemes. This leads to the core of the proposed research project and the “key scientific question”: “How to evaluate and compare in a quantifiable and integrated manner the impact of differing business and governance schemes for municipality-centered enterprises in respect to the generation of comprehensive value for citizens and communities?”
