Popis: Infrastructure projects are considered one of the pillars for achieving urban sustainable development socially, economically and environmentally, as they reflect the progress of countries. Due to the importance and high cost of these projects and as a result of the insufficiency of available balanced funding of governments particularly in developing countries, therefore, many governments implement such projects through partnership with the partners especially the private sector (PPP) to ensure high quality service and low cost advanced technology by activating the principle of value for money and through competition between local and international private sector companies in a framework of transparency. This paper discusses the contractual relations between parties of partnerships in these projects and the mechanism of distributing the risks to parties during the different phases of the project by assigning risk indicators at relative weight through analyzing the probability of occurrence of these risks using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and taking in consideration Environmental management mechanisms as part of the risk indicators to ensure the success of the project in an environmental framework that achieves the concept of sustainable development and its economic, social and environmental aspects.
