The report includes policy recommendations and explores the effective use of metropolitan revenue instruments, intergovernmental transfers, public-private partnerships, and more.

This book is also the basis for a Policy Focus Report, Governing and Financing Cities in the Developing World, by Bahl and Linn, published in May 2014.
