ABSTRACT

This chapter analyses the different steps needed in developing an effective governance model. It looks at the pros and cons of developing an arm’s-length organization to manage the programme, and at how stakeholders can be persuaded to participate. Particular attention is paid to the shift from government to governance, and to how the city can identify those aspects of development it can influence. We also draw on examples from cities in different parts of the world to consider how governance works in different political and cultural contexts.
