This book presents the changing roles of urban governments and how
local governments struggle to gain administrative, fiscal, and
political power to combat current urban challenges in Kazakhstan.
Focusing on the cities and regions selected by the national
government of Kazakhstan to be the drivers of national economic
development, the author analyses the impact of decentralization on
the role of local governments. The book examines the practical
experiences of city and regional governments with an emphasis on
urban planning, public investment in national projects, and
management of urban transport. Due to the complexity and irregular
distribution of political reforms at different levels of local
government in Kazakhstan, three separate studies are presented,
each looking at a specific aspect of decentralization reform and
local government function related to physical urban development and
distribution of public investment. The author argues that, if the
national government of Kazakhstan wants to concentrate economic
resources in urban agglomerations, it is not enough to assume that
local governments are ready to play the role of efficient planners
and managers of urban development. A useful analysis illustrating
cities and urban conglomerations as engines of growth in economic
development, this book will be of interest to academics studying
Central Asian Studies, in particular political and economic
development, Development Studies, and Urban Studies.
