This work focuses on urban governance in the developing world, its
aim being to bring a holistic perspective to the debate on urban
governance in Asia and around the globe. It has been divided into
three sections: The first section is on rural interventions as they
influence urbanization and its problems/solutions. The second
focuses on urban governance, infrastructure programs, service
delivery reforms and their evaluation. The third and final section
focuses on urbanization and the environment. In the first section,
we present evaluations of India’s rural programs including the
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA),
and of India’s Total Sanitation Campaign. This section covers the
transition from rural to urban areas, and highlights coping
mechanisms in urban areas and policy implications for urban
governance, from the viewpoint of rural migrants. The section on
urban governance, infrastructure and service delivery is the most
in-depth and consists of papers that present state-of-the-art
research on many aspects of infrastructure such as cost and time
overruns, risks and their mitigation, assessments of the metro
rail, and services such as solid waste management. The focus of the
final section is on urbanization and the environment. Here we
examine land use change in India, the relationship between urban
form and residential energy use in Bandung, Indonesia, and end by
depicting a cautiously optimistic view of Asia’s
urbanization-environment nexus.
