PRIVATE INVESTMENT INTO HOUSING AND MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

The main requirement the end users of the housing and municipal engineering system have is to improve the system infrastructure. According to some experts, one of the best methods to be used to meet the requirement is to create privately owned companies that could bring large investments to the system and improve the system by making an overhaul of it. Nevertheless, rank-and-file members of the local communities usually think that privatization of the system facilities and transference of the system into the «unclean» hands will bring about the inappropriate supply of the vital utility services. According to the article author, when we speak about the housing infrastructure and utilities ownership type, we do not necessarily mean direct transference of the ownership rights to a privately-owned company.
