China: Municipality-Level Public–Private Partnership Operational Framework for Chongqing
This framework includes guidance on how governments assess and prioritize potential PPP projects. Countries with successful PPP programs have developed mechanisms for assessing and prioritizing PPPs. Therefore, Castalia has developed a tool that could help the municipality of Chongqing to evaluate and prioritize proposals for new projects systematically and objectively. Our tool is informed by the international experience identifying and prioritizing PPP projects (particularly in Australia and the UK). It represents best practices globally.

We find that Chinese development projects in general, and Chinese transportation projects in particular, reduce economic inequality within and between subnational localities.
