Book Description
Presents an overview of municipal services that have been contracted out and provided by means other than direct, in- house delivery. The study focuses on Ontario and is based in part on a written questionnaire survey completed by municipal officials in 17 Ontario municipalities, and on follow-up telephone interviews. The authors also reviewed the literature and interviewed municipal officials with experience in alternative service delivery (ASD) elsewhere in Canada and the United States. Highlights of case studies for Canadian and US cities include information on the ASD methods used, the context in which they were used, and the outcomes. The final section summarizes findings and discusses the characteristics of successful ASD/competitive contracting, the differences between Canadian and US experience, obstacles facing Ontario municipalities, and the potential savings from ASD/competitiveness for Ontario municipalities. A copy of the survey questionnaire is included.

Book Description
Transformation and rapid population growth in Africa indicates that urbanisation is one of the key determinants of the future of social dynamics and development of the continent. Linked to these changes are increased production levels of Municipal Solid Waste. This book provides recommendations and solutions that derive from current situations, experiences and observations in Africa. The study is an essential tool for urban planners, environmental engineering students and lecturers, environmental consultants and policy-makers; it is also a resource for municipal authorities, as it outlines future directions of Municipal Solid Waste management. These need to be considered by the municipal authorities of most African countries.

Book Description
This collection is the first book-length work in many years to provide new theoretical direction to budget theory. Written by several of the most respected people in budgeting, including Allen Schick, Naomi Caiden, and Lance LeLoup, it explores such current topics as the scope of budgeting, the degree and source of variation in budgeting, and changes in budgeting process over time. New Directions will help to build a framework that is less confining than incrementalism, and will stimulate and guide future research. Some of the essays deal with the implications of looking at budgeting from a multi-year perspective, and the importance of allocating sources other than money (such as personnel ceilings); others pose questions about what a budget theory should look like, and how many budget theories are needed.

Book Description
This paper is concerned with the so-called new planning -- the use of advanced information from the social sciences and concern with second-order, behavioral consequences of public action. Technical decisions at the municipal level of government are resolved more and more frequently by general techniques rather than local experience. Operations research has been added to the list of accepted factors for evaluating and deciding problems. This paper cites 31 selected reports which sample some advanced information available for the new planning in two: (1) adoption of new policies and methods in policymaking organizations, and (2) sources of fundamental information from the social sciences and applications to the planning of urban services. Brief comments are appended.
