Recenzii

“Lucid and detailed. . . . .The book depicts an impressive level of pragmatism, dedication, and vision among the decision-makers who achieved this progress.”

“This brilliantly researched book holds lessons for the many countries dealing with rapid urbanization and growing demands for basic infrastructure in cities.”

“A landmark critical review drawing on a rich evidence base from both academic and practitioner perspectives. Its insights and analytical framework have relevance for other countries and cities facing the challenges of the ‘new urban’ agenda.”

“The authors present a rich, comprehensive but sober analysis of progress achieved by the South African public sector in the two decades after apartheid. Their view from the local level is particularly relevant, as South Africa is one of the few African countries with empowered sub-national government.”
