Public Administration and DevelopmentSummary: Governance reforms in Asian city-regions have sought to achieve efficient delivery of urban services as well as greater people's participation in decision-making. Structural reforms have taken the form of unified metropolitan governance or tiered metroplitan structures imposed by higher levels of government. Significant success has been achieved in area-wide regional planning and in coordination of area-wide services such as transport, water and sanitation, and solid waste disposal. Social reforms including decentralisation of powers to local units have been hampered by strong traditions of local autonomy, particularistic politics and graft and corruption. With a few exceptions, civil society groups have not had much influence on metropolitan governance reforms in Asia. - Reproduced.
