梳理发展中国家城市快速增长带来的主要问题，并讨论如何通过公共投资、定价、税收和监管等政策工具，在提高城市发展效率的同时促进公平，避免目标冲突。
The unprecedented rate of urban growth in developing nations has created massive new tasks for national and local policymakers. This study delineates the major problems of adapting to the growth of cities in developing countries, and it discusses policies to increase the efficiency and equity of urban development. The areas covered include urban employment, income redistribution, transport, housing, and social services such as health and education. The author evaluates the effectiveness of policy instruments such as public investment, pricing, taxation, and regulation. Some of these policies can be used in ways that improve both the efficiency and the equity of the development of cities, without a conflict between these goals.
