Abstract
G-S interactive finance framework is the ideal one to enhance the success rate and efficiency of utilities tunnel projects. Government/non-profit organizations/individuals (G part) and profitable social organizations/individuals (S part) are the counterparties to the G-S interactive finance framework. Utilities tunnel projects flexibly select one funding model or several funding modes to maximize the management revenue. Choice of suitable funding mode (like debt funding, equity funding, internet finance) is important to acquire enough construction capital for these types of projects. According to the number of investors, size of the financing, financing tenure, and finance procedure convenience, every funding mode has its own special character, usage, scope, and procedure. This chapter explores crowdfunding pledging analysis for these types of projects. Small projects of utilities tunnels can use crowdfunding mode, and big projects of utilities tunnels can use crowdfunding mode gradually.
