Book Description
This work uses case studies of urban financing mechanisms in China, India, and Brazil to help decision makers in developing countries address the challenges of rapid metropolitan growth. The report includes policy recommendations and explores the effective use of metropolitan revenue instruments, intergovernmental transfers, public-private partnerships, and more. This book is also the basis for a Policy Focus Report, Governing and Financing Cities in the Developing World, by Bahl and Linn, published in May 2014.
