Description
This book examines financing mechanisms for metropolitan governments in developing countries, using case studies from China, India, and Brazil to inform policy recommendations.
It explores effective use of revenue instruments, intergovernmental transfers, public-private partnerships, and other strategies to address the challenges of rapid urban growth. The report provides valuable insights for decision makers seeking to govern and finance cities in developing countries.
The book is also the basis for a Policy Focus Report by the authors, published in May 2014, offering further analysis on this critical topic.
