This article shares some experiences
with different techniques for estimating economic benefits
and costs used by the Bank in appraising urban upgrading
projects . The projects usually combine infrastructure
investments and complementary activities to strengthen,
build capacity and organize communities and government at
different levels to ensure appropriate use of services
provided and sustainability. Latin America's urban
population jumped from 50 percent in 1960 to 75 percent in
2000 (108 and 389 million respectively), making it the most
urbanized region in the world. Municipalities throughout
Latin America are struggling to keep up with this growth, in
difficult economic environments, making sustainable
provision of basic services a huge challenge. The World
Bank is working closely with national, regional and
municipal governments in developing and financing urban
upgrading projects. |
