New Book: Urban Governance in the Realm of Complexity

A new book, edited by MSM Professor Meine Pieter Van Dijk, in collaboration with Jurian Edelenbos and Kees van Rooijen has just been published by Practical Action Publishing. The book deals with the role of urban information systems; public, private and community partnerships; and co-operation between governmental, NGOs and CBOs. It displays a concern for participation and self-organization of stakeholders in the urban development process and attention for emerging institutional forms for urban governance and management in developing countries, or what we would now call the role of emerging governance structures.
