Abstract
Public authorities are expected to provide a salient infrastructure network, with only limited financial resources. However, many of these infrastructure projects go over budget and, therefore, research about these cost overruns is necessary to better understand the dynamics at work and provide solutions. We conclude that in Belgium, and broader, solutions need to be found for relational issues internal and external to the project core. Before a lot of attention was given to technical and legal project aspects, while our insights show that we should focus more on the relational aspects.
期刊介绍：
PUBLIC WORKS MANAGEMENT & POLICY: RESEARCH AND PRACTICE IN TRANSPORTATION, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE ENVIRONMENT is a peer-reviewed journal for academics and practitioners in public works and the public and private infrastructure industries. This journal addresses the planning, financing, development, and operations of civil infrastructure systems at all levels of society— from federal policy to the demand for, and delivery of, state and local public works services. PWMP solicits manuscripts that convey research results, evaluate management innovations, suggest methods of analysis and evaluation, and examine policy issues.
