REsolutions Europe: Local innovations to finance cities and regions
Published as part of the REsolutions to fund cities program, the regional publication “Local innovations to finance cities and regions” analyses through nine case studies the strategies and financial instruments available to and locally developed by European local authorities in order to mobilize more efficiently financial resources and to foster the territories’ autonomy and resilience.
From the traditional financial engineering to the strategies of public resources management optimization, via the creation of local and alternative funding solutions putting local economy at the heart of the development process, new perspectives of funding resources diversification are opening.
“Panorama and tools for financing urban development in Latin America” is a publication made within the framework of the world program Resolutions to Fund Cities, an initiative that addresses the issue of urban finance through research and implementation of financial solutions that promote diversity and complementarity of actors and instruments. This publication focuses on the main financing trends in Latin America and the solutions implemented by local authorities and their partners.
