Title Urban Development Policies and Programs: The Relationship between Central Governments and Local Authorities Day / Time Wednesday, June 21st / 16:30 - 18:30 Room Oceanview 5/6 Event Description Inter-governmental relationships directly affect the design and management of urban development polices and programs. This panel will assess different aspects of this topic- national government policies and sub-national development programs, pubic finance and urban investments, public-private partnerships, land use options and provincial, state and local planning powers. Various national experiences since Habitat II will be discussed to identify those governance arrangements, which seem to provide the more effective framework for the growth and development of healthy urban regions.
