Canada, as with many developed nations, is facing the challenge of finding innovative construction methods to meet the increasing demand for public and private infrastructure. Increasing population and economic activity requires urban renewal now actively developed using the PPP model.

This structure of linking private-sector expertise and innovation with capital investment in public infrastructure projects promotes the use of a “Total Package” approach where engineering, procurement, construction management and maintenance is employed for the most efficient project delivery. The Canadian federal government has announced plans to invest C$186 bn in new infrastructure projects from 2,017 to 2,028 to stimulate the economy and urban renewal.
