Description
Extract from the Introduction :
The Comparative Urban Studies Project at the Woodrow Wilson Center began a project in 1997 designed to both identify factors that contribute to making urban areas centers of violence and poverty and propose policy recommendations for improvements and making urban areas more sustainable. Population growth, resource stress, environmental degradation, social fragmentation, communal violence, and international crime were identified by the Center's research group as critical challenges for urban areas throughout the world. The group then concluded that ensuring that cities more effectively meet the needs of their citizens is directly related to the way in which they are governed.
This report is composed of papers, policy briefs, and discussions that outline some of the basic challenges facing the world's cities.
