This collection of case studies from Asia, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe offers scholars and practitioners interested in urban management an insight into how new institutional forms have developed in projects and programmes.

The contributors, working from personal experience, give practical insights into development activities by governments, the private sector and community workers, and how their roles are changing.
