Managing rapid urbanization is a primary challenge facing many cities, and particularly pressing is the need to provide adequate infrastructure in transportation, water treatment, housing, sewage, and solid waste. However, many local governments—particularly in small and medium-sized cities in developing countries—lack the organizational structures and authority to undertake infrastructure development initiatives. For example, they might lack properly staffed departments of finance, and the proper mechanisms and regulations for public–private investment are often not in place. Similarly, many cities lack the capacity for financing these investments, even when these assets have the potential to become sources of revenue generation.
