Abstract: Due to the unprecedented rate of global economic and social development, the conflict between mankind, natural resources and the environment has increased. Major infrastructure projects provide significant benefits to regions. On the other hand, these projects often consume substantial resources and can create lasting, hidden ecological burdens, posing long-term sustainability challenges. This paper adopts the sustainable management practices by Skanska, which has been officially published in LaGuardia Airport Terminal B redevelopment project, which won the world’s first Envision Platinum award. The paper frames sustainability as a collaborative governance effort among stakeholders, analyzing governance measures for major projects and implemented through local policy. The results are impressive, showing a 99.92% waste recycling rate, 19% energy savings, and a 40% reduction in water consumption, demonstrating a tangible impact of governance innovation. The paper gives us useful information and ways to make certain that Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) projects continue over the long-term. It offers fresh experience in managing these partnerships so they are not weak or unprofitable in the future, and so people working on projects will be more confident in their operations, achieving positive outcomes and providing valuable management experience for other types of PPP project construction.
Keywords: Sustainability concept, PPP projects, governance measures.
