This question is central to many municipalities that are under pressure to invest \u2013 and yet there is often a lack of concrete solutions. At the SCHULBAU Salon &amp; Messe in Essen 2025, Dr. J\u00f6rg Christen will bring well-founded data, precise analyses and an approach that is still unfamiliar to many: Public Private Partnership (PPP) as a structured lifecycle approach in educational construction.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Think economically, build smartly: Focus on PPP models<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Dr. J\u00f6rg Christen, former head of the PPP Task Force of the federal government and now a lecturer at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hs-mainz.de\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.hs-mainz.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mainz University of Applied Sciences<\/a> in the Department of Technology, has been involved in public-private partnerships for over 30 years. His expertise is well-founded, his argumentation data-based: In a recent European comparative study from 2024, 18 PPP school projects in Germany were compared with over 1,000 conventional buildings \u2013 with clear results. The lifecycle costs of public-private partnership projects were between 17% and 35% lower than those of traditionally implemented construction projects. Municipal clients rate the services with an average school grade of 1.7.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The concept: From the very beginning, construction, operation, maintenance and energy management are planned in an integrated manner and thought through over the entire term of the contract.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>School construction as a strategic overall package<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>For many cities and municipalities, public-private partnerships do not offer short-term relief, but a structural option: school construction is understood here less as an individual measure and more as a strategic overall package. Dr. J\u00f6rg Christen pleads for a sober look at economic efficiency \u2013 and at the same time asks the question of which models can be sustainable in the future to overcome the municipal investment backlog. <\/p>\n\n<p>At SCHULBAU Essen 2025, he will discuss his findings with participants from municipalities, architecture, planning and administration. His lecture offers insight into reliable study results and at the same time into new ways of thinking for a future of educational construction that goes beyond short-term budgets. <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccd <strong>SCHULBAU Salon &amp; Messe Essen 2025<\/strong><br\/>\ud83d\udcc5 24\u201325 September 2025<br\/>\ud83d\udccc Messe Essen Foyer East<br\/>\ud83c\udfa4 Lecture by <strong>Dr. J\u00f6rg Christen<\/strong>:<br\/><strong>&#8220;PPP Life Cycle Approach \u2013 Efficiency Potential for Schools&#8221;<\/strong><br\/>\ud83d\udd53 To the program: <a href=\"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/messe-programm\/essen-programm\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"schulbau.online\/messe-programm\/essen-programm\">CLICK!<\/a> <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PPP as an opportunity for school construction: At SCHULBAU Essen 2025, Dr. J\u00f6rg Christen will present current studies on the efficiency potential of life cycle models \u2013 fact-based and future-oriented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12916,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[86],"class_list":["post-12915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-people-perspectives","tag-schulbau-essen"],"acf":[],"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12915"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12918,"href":"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12915\/revisions\/12918"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schulbau.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
