Across the developing world the preceding decade or so has
witnessed a profound reconfiguration of the political economy of
urban policy. This new policy environment is driven by
globalization, the neo-liberal macro-economic package of 'market
enablement' and structural adjustment, which now form the dominant
development paradigm. The consequences of this approach for urban
development agendas and ultimately the lives and livelihoods of
millions of people across the globe are profound. Market Economy
and Urban Change explores and evaluates urban sector and
development policies in the context of market enablement, and the
associated instruments of structural adjustment, urban management
reform and 'good' governance. By articulating the linkages between
this neo-liberal development paradigm and the way different actors
in the urban sector enact policy responses, the book provides an
understanding of both the factors driving market enablement, and
its impacts on urban sector policies and programmes. With case
studies drawn from countries such as Egypt, Mexico, Kenya, Brazil,
Colombia and transitional economies, the book focuses in particular
on the implications for land, shelter and related sectoral policies
for poverty alleviation. By linking policy to practice, the book
seeks to inform policy-makers in governments, donor and
implementing agencies of the impact of shifts in the development
debate on urban sector strategies.
