As megacities play a vital role within their respective countries – economically, administratively, and from a human development perspective – they experience the costs and benefits of urbanization simultaneously with major investment needs, rising poverty, and increasing congestion and pollution levels in the context of limited financial resources, raising the question for a suitable decentralized funding source. This book highlights the property tax as a means to help further improve the financial sustainability of megacities, the reliability and quality of their services, and megacities’ contribution to supporting economic growth.Contributions to Economics,1431-1933Finance, PublicUrban economicsDevelopment economicsPublic financePublic Financehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/611000Urban Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49010Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Public Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34000Finance, Public.Urban economics.Development economics.Public finance.Public Finance.Urban Economics.Development Economics.Public Economics.332Salm Marcoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut905489MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910255056103321Property Tax in BRICS Megacities2025274UNINA
