I think so.

If the local administration relies on the public need in developing their cities, the financial support should be available.

Here is a good reference, showed the new visions of local administrations.

Dear Dr Hussam,

In my opinion I think the financial support is of important factors to develop the city beside it is main responsibility of Local authorities.

Good morning

One would assume that this would vary from country to country depending on the government policies. For example, in some EU countries the central government who have more powers in rising money from taxation than the local authorities on one side limit the amount of financial support to the local authorities, whilst at the same time limit the amount of local tax that they can charge. It is claimed that this is to make the local authorities more financially self-supporting. This promote commercialization where in part local authorities attempt to run as businesses. Therefore, in order to 'preserve and develop the city' they have to foster partnership with commercial or not-for profit entities. In these instances the local authorities have more of the role of facilitator or enabler. They identify the local priorities and seek external partners to deliver them. This may include assisting with sourcing local, regional, national or international funding for project in order to deliver the initial projects that would act as a catalyst for future activities and development.

Kind regards

Yes I agree with you . But financial support alone is not enough. All requirements, vision , support, technical staff , but nothing can be done without financial support

Hi,

Jay Forrester in his book "Urban Dynamics" reviewed municipal programs to improve the efficiency of urban development.

Forrester considered more than 10 typical municipal programs. Of these, the following programs were effective:

Construction of a profitable housing stock

Construction of the super profitable housing stock

Construction of new enterprises

Demolition program of decayed enterprises

Slum Demolition Program

Housing Suppression Program (slum demolition + limiting the construction of super-profit housing)

Business Promotion Program (Business Promotion + Slum Demolition)

The Cities are measured by the extent of their services, so I think the financial support certainly have a role to play in supporting the local government

Thank you my dear friend Rabee Gameel, On this answer
