Finance is a critical issue for municipal governments around the
world, and a major constraint on the delivery of pro-poor services
at the local level. In many countries, decentralisation has brought
the issue of municipal finance to the fore. This sourcebook
provides a framework for analysing municipal finance capacity and
ways of addressing financial constraints. The ideas come from
real-life innovative practice in four countries - India, Brazil,
Kenya and Uganda - with additional examples from elsewhere.
Emphasis is given to how those innovations and improvements were
developed and sustained. The book identifies a strategic framework
for diagnosing municipal finance capacity and focusing financial
goals. It applies the analysis to a number of critical areas of
municipal finance including local taxes, charges for services,
budgeting, cost control, accounting reforms and investment finance.
This is the third in a series of capacity-building sourcebooks that
includes Focusing Partnerships: A Sourcebook for Municipal Capacity
Building in Public-Private Partnerships and Municipalities and
Community Participation: A Sourcebook for Capacity Building.

London is one of the world's greatest cities. Filled with people of
all races, religions and nationalities, and packed with energy, it
is a dynamic melting pot and a colourful testimony to the human
spirit. Over five years, photographer Richard Slater has traversed
the streets of the city, photographing, meeting and talking with
ordinary Londoners from all walks of life. The result is this rich
and vibrant celebration of London in its many different guises.
Accompanied by insightful commentary that tells the stories behind
the images, the book features London's tribes - whether identified
by class, wealth, or taste; the extraordinary number of faith
groups; the population's diversity of race and ethnicity; the
creative and political life of London's streets; the numerous
festivals and celebrations that take place throughout the year;
and, finally, the many surprises that lie hidden within the
metropolis. Utterly unique, People in London is a celebration of
diversity, and a love letter to this great city.
