Institutional constraints and weak capacity often hamper the ability of local governments in developing countries to steer urbanization. As a result, there are not enough cities to accommodate an unabated rural-urban migration and many of those that exist are messy, sprawling, and disconnected. In this event, the authors and discussants will explore the conditions that create these private cities, who these private actors are, and the implications for urban policy. Register here.
