| Abstract |
The institutional, economic, and legal changes which have profoundly affected the development processes of the
countries of Latin America over the last two decades are having, and will continue to have, a direct
influence on cities and in how they are governed and managed in terms of the type of services provided, how
they are governed, and the extent to which they meet the needs of the citizens being served.
This article aims to analyse and synthesize the main findings from ten different experiences in local and regional development planning and management in the context of decentralization reforms in Latin America, pointing to the trends and prospects. It is divided into the following four main parts: (1) Constitutional reforms, policy goals, and the new institutional framework for local governments (LGs); (2) Context of reform and driving forces challenging urban management; (3) New paradigms and emerging planning and management approaches in LG; and (4) Decentralization and institutional capacity-building for local development planning and management: future challenges. --Journal abstract | ||
