Synopsis

This book evolved from the Asian Development Bank and World Bank's joint pioneering seminar held in 1981 by professionals involved in the management of sixteen South and East Asian cities. Part One discusses the needs for adaptable network structures rather than hierarchical structures, stronger financial resources and administrative capacities at the municipal level, and integration and development activities with the establishment of cyclical procedures for analysis, planning, and implementation. Part Two provides detailed profiles of specific cities.

Review

"The strength of the book lies in its wealth of material on municipal operations and analysis of policy initiatives. The case studies present in a concise form information that is not easily available to most readers wishing access to comparative work, or access indeed on any one of the cities
themselves."--Urban Studies
