This book demonstrates both successes and failures in attempts to
get closer to the ideal of good urban governance in cities in
North-America, Europe, and Asia. It presents a value menu and
deliberately does not come up with "one best way" for improving
urban governance. Good urban governance is presented as a balancing
act, an interplay between government, business and civil society in
which the core values need careful and timely attention. The
authors address questions such as "What is deemed "good" in urban
governance, and how is it being searched for?", and "What
(re)configurations of interactions between government, private
sector and civil society are evolving, and to what results?".
Decentralized systems were implemented in many developing countries
in the 1970's after the failure of centralized systems. In general,
it is hard for regency and municipality to execute their new
decentralized responsibilities and authorities. They still have
many difficulties and constraints due to human resources, revenue,
infrastructure and overall management capacity to handle the
decentralized responsibility and the accompanying authority. Having
a regional cooperation would be a good way to achieve efficiency
and effectiveness. Kartamantul, a cooperation of three local
governments, becomes popular in Indonesia because of its success in
doing regional cooperation to provide well-improved quality of
service provision. After almost ten years it manages seven projects
of urban infrastructure. Nowadays to face globalization era,
improving capacity building of Kartamantul is needed to get more
creative and innovative cooperation. Metropolitan governance
becomes an important issue to find a better structure of regional
cooperation. This book explores what do Kartamantul have and should
be had towards a metropolitan region using theories and models of
metropolitan region.
