Opis

An exploration of the complex relationship between national development strategies and the urban sector. The text focuses on the role of the state as mediator between international donors and internal domestic interests. It examines how the changing role of the state moves to market-based policies, and new development models have affected the provision of housing and sectoral programmes of poverty alleviation. The results provide analyses for all involved - donors, development agencies, governments and municipal authorities, and community groups.
