It examines nine "windows" of urban management in the context of the new urban strategy of the World Bank. The book recognizes that cities are crucial in efforts to address poverty and development issues. It combines theoretical discussions of new, fundamental principles of urban management with practical discussions that show how concepts are translated into policy tools and strategies. Chapter 1 discusses the forces of globalization and how these affect cities in general and metropolitan management and governance in particular. Chapter 2 introduces the elements of strategic planning and evaluates successful experiences in city strategy and governance. In light of decentralization, chapter 3 analyzes subnational financial management, particularly its technical, participatory, and political aspects. Chapter 4 deals with revenue raising issues and approaches. Chapter 5 considers private sector involvement in provision of public services, using case studies of public-private partnerships. Chapter 6 discusses the role of land and real estate markets in urban development, and explains why and how local governments should intervene in their operations. Urban poverty is the focus of chapter 7, with examples of how it is addressed. Chapter 8 analyzes problems of the urban environment and preconditions for successful environmental management, with specific urban cases. Chapter 9 examines the relationship between transportation and metropolitan growth, and how to deal with urban transport problems. 410 0$aWBI development studies. 606 $aMunicipal government 606 $aMetropolitan areas 606 $aCity planning 606 $aUrban poor 615 0$aMunicipal government. 615 0$aMetropolitan areas. 615 0$aCity planning. 615 0$aUrban poor. 676 $a352.16 701 $aFreire$b Mila$01941251 701 $aStren$b Richard E$035260 712 02$aUniversity of Toronto.$bCentre for Urban and Community Studies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911101299603321 996 $aThe challenge of urban government$94729529 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04025nam 2200613Ia 450 001 9911150194903321 005 20251117074529.0 010 $a1-280-42421-4 010 $a9786610424214 010 $a0-8032-0643-7 035 $a(CKB)2460000000007333 035 $a(EBL)565757 035 $a(OCoLC)813224846 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000288639 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12079229 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000288639 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10374164 035 $a(PQKB)11498610 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC565757 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL565757 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10410456 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL42421 035 $a(EXLCZ)992460000000007333 100 $a20020112d2002 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aAmerican anthropology, 1971-1995 $epapers from the American anthropologist /$fedited and with an introduction by Regna Darnell 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aArlington, VA $cAmerican Anthropological Association ;$aLincoln $cUniversity of Nebraska Press$dc2002 215 $a1 online resource (825 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a0-8032-6635-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aCover; Copyright; Table of Contents; Editor's Introduction; Ritual, Sanctity, and Cybernetics; Brazilian Racial Terms: Some Aspects of Meaning and Learning; The Potlatch: A Structural Analysis; Prejudice and Its Intellectual Effect in American Anthropology: An Ethnographic Report; On Key Symbols; Sheep in Navajo Culture and Social Organization; Verbal Art as Performance; World Picture, Anthropological Frame; The Anthropologist as Expert Witness; Whatever Happened to the Id?; Linguistic Knowledge and Cultural Knowledge: Some Doubts and Speculations 327 $aTibetan Fraternal Polyandry: A Test of Sociobiological Theory The Golden Marshalltown: A Parable for the Archeology of the 1980's; Types Distinct from Our Own: Franz Boas on Jewish Identity and Assimilation; Other Times, Other Customs: The Anthropology of History; Anti Anti-Relativism; Hominoid Evolution and Hominoid Origins; Culture as Consensus: A Theory of Culture and Informant Accuracy; A Discourse-Centered Approach to Language and Culture; Knowledge, Power, and the Individual in Subarctic Hunting Societies; Theories of Social Honor 327 $aKalapalo Biography: Psychology and Language in a South American Oral History The Making of the Maori: Culture Invention and Its Logic; Facing Power-Old Insights, New Questions; Evolution of the Human Capacity for Beliefs; Art, Science, or Politics?

Marxist, symbolic, and structuralist thought shaped the fieldwork and conclusions of many researchers around the globe. Practicing anthropology blossomed and grew rapidly as a subdiscipline in its own right. There emerged a keener appreciation of both the history of the discipline and the histories of those studied. Archaeologists witnessed a resurgence of interest in the concept of culture. 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aIndians of North America 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aIndians of North America. 676 $a001 676 $a301.0973 701 $aDarnell$b Regna$0166738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911150194903321 996 $aAmerican anthropology, 1971-1995$94842272 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03720oam 2200733I 450 001 9911151615503321 005 20251117082200.0 010 $a1-135-28190-4 010 $a1-135-28191-2 010 $a1-282-44355-0 010 $a9786612443558 010 $a0-203-86029-2 010 $a9780203860298 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203860298 035 $a(CKB)2550000000003443 035 $a(EBL)465302 035 $a(OCoLC)502240507 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000334480 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12099604 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000334480 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10260354 035 $a(PQKB)11706025 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC465302 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL465302 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10358747 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL244355 035 $a(OCoLC)1000426653 035 $a(FlBoTFG)9780203860298 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000003443 100 $a20180706d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aAgency $eworking with uncertain architectures /$fedited by Florian Kossak.
