520 _aUrban local bodies can substantiate their relevance in the decentralised structure of governance by measuring up to competitive environment in which they have to function. The mandate of being institutions of participative democracy is to be vindicated with a changed paradigm of accountable service delivery. To this end, restructuring aimed at a financial and functional autonomy, is the key to institutional reforms in the modern day urban governance. This paper highlights structural and functional dimensions of urban governance system in Haryana as well as the best practices being followed in the other states. The state has challenges peculiar to its geopolitical realities and the prevalent system of urban governance in Haryana needs to be streamlined for coping with the increasing pressure owing to the rapid pace of urbanisation in the State which is likely to be accelerated in the years ahead. Adaptive structures of local governance are needed to maintain social capital and address economic interests that are engines of growth in the emerging cities. – Reproduced
