Urban governance in Pacific island countries: advancing an overdue agenda

Abstract

"From this paper three main themes emerge: the importance of peri-urban areas, the emergence of conflict as a result of weak government and stressed traditional systems and finally, the need for new and more inclusive systems of governance. Increasingly both material (infrastructure, housing, services, etc.) and nonmaterial (state-society relations, governance, etc.) needs are seen as complimentary to sustainable urban development. This working paper will primarily focus on what can be achieved in terms of creating more inclusive and effective forms of governance, building on international and Pacific perspectives and experiences." - page 1
