Urbanization in developing economies: the assessment
比较不同国家的城市化经验,分析其在就业、生产力和宜居性方面表现差异的原因,强调城市需要公共基础设施、监管和协调等政策支持。
Urbanization is an inherent part of economic development, yet its success in delivering jobs, productivity, and liveability varies widely. This issue of the Oxford Review of Economic Policy compares the experience of different countries and analyses the causes of their different performance. Cities are policy intensive, requiring public provision of infrastructure, regulation, and coordination. This in turn requires authorizing environments with a sufficiently broad span of control, and correspondingly powerful checks and balances to prevent abuse.
