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?".
This book explores the dynamics of democratic reform processes in
European local government. On the basis of analyses of theoretical
challenges to present developments, the book pays attention to
processes of democratic innovation inspired by classical
representative democracy and by new forms of democracy influenced
by notions of governance, participation, e-governance, empowering
civil society and the like. Also attention is given to the role of
regionalization and of leader- ship in efforts to revitalize local
democracy. Cases from all over Europe are being studied.
