This is an article in the Italian magazine Italianieuropei, which discusses
the growing trend of remuncipalisation
in Europe, in other high-income countries and in developing countries. As well
as the water sector it also looks at re-municipalisation in other public
service sectors like energy, waste management and public transport. Across
sectors, the main factors leading to re-municipalization include the public
sector’s greater efficiency and reduced costs, as well as enhanced service
quality and sustainability. These reasons suggest that the re-municipalization
trend is here to stay. More details
from here.
