Good Practices in Urban Water Management: Decoding Good Practices for a Successful Future
Chiplunkar, Anand; Seetharam, K. E.; Tan, Cheon Kheong | July 2012
Abstract
This report presents case studies on successful Asian water utilities. The case studies provide objective, accurate, and critical analyses of urban water management practices in eight Asian cities over a 10-year period. Other local leaders throughout the developing world can use these cases to help craft their own solutions, taking into account specific local circumstances. What is most important for cities is to find some common base elements for success and then replicate these, albeit with appropriate modifications, to suit their own special conditions.

Urban Innovations and Best Practices: Retrofitting Sustainable Urban Development Practices: Urban Public Transport
Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2010-11-15)Fast-growing cities in developing countries are often plagued by the twin problems of congestion and inadequate public transport systems. In some cases, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system can help to bridge the gap. By using dedicated bus lanes to develop a moderately rapid mass transit system, a BRT system generally requires lower infrastructure investment as compared with a subway or light rail ...Fast-growing cities in developing countries are often plagued by the twin problems of congestion and inadequate public transport systems.

New Zealand’s pandemic response: Best practice or just a practice run?
Hogan, Sarah; Krieble, Todd (New Zealand Institute of Economic Research, 2020-02-28)In “(Nearly) nothing to fear but fear itself”, a 2009 article for The Economist, French economist Olivier Jean Blanchard argued that in a crisis, policy makers should focus on reducing uncertainty: “Crises feed uncertainty. And uncertainty affects behaviour, which feeds the crisis”. Blanchard was writing about the global financial crisis, but his argument also applies to a threat of pandemic. In a ...In “(Nearly) nothing to fear but fear itself”, a 2009 article for The Economist, French economist Olivier Jean Blanchard argued that in a crisis, policy makers should focus on reducing uncertainty: “Crises feed uncertainty.

Sequencing Regionalism: Theory, European Practice, and Lessons for Asia
Baldwin, Richard E. (Asian Development Bank, 2011-06-01)Feedback mechanisms are the key to sequencing when it comes to regional integration; can mean that today’s policy or institution alters the political-economy landscape in a way that makes it politically optimal for future governments to take further steps toward integration—even when these steps are not politically optimal from today’s perspective. After outlining the theory, the paper uses feedback ...Feedback mechanisms are the key to sequencing when it comes to regional integration; can mean that today’s policy or institution alters the political-economy landscape in a way that makes it politically optimal for future governments to take further ...
