The analyses focus on four mutually dependent dimensions - finance, innovation, urban-rural co-operation and governance - and proposes a solutions-oriented typology based on urban characteristics. The report underlines that sustainable urban water management will depend on collaboration across different tiers of government working together with local initiatives and stakeholders.OECD studies on water.Water utilitiesOECD countriesManagementWater-supplyOECD countriesManagementWater utilitiesManagement.Water-supplyManagement.363.610683MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797484003321Water and cities3799282UNINA
