Urban Innovations and Best Practices: Financing Urban Development in the Peoples Republic of China
Asian Development Bank | November 2010
Abstract
The role of government in urban planning has evolved with changes in urban development in the PRC. Following the economic reforms that have occurred in the PRC since 1976, the central government has progressively delegated responsibilities to local governments in areas such as planning, land use, public works, and social welfare services. Local governments now have increased scope in decision making, receiving greater autonomy over investment approval, entry and exit regulation, resource allocation, as well as authority over state-owned enterprises.

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.

Urban Innovations and Best Practices: Urban Water Supply: Case Study of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Maanshan
Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2010-11-15)Of the 660 large cities in the PRC, more than 400 are expected to face chronic water shortages. This is exacerbated by the (i) uneven distribution of water resources between the north and south regions of the PRC, (ii) industrial pollution contaminating many water sources, (iii) over-extraction, and (iv) relatively inefficient use of available water resources. The public urban water and sewerage ...Of the 660 large cities in the PRC, more than 400 are expected to face chronic water shortages.
