Описание: The provision of public services -- such as health care, education, sanitation and criminal justice -- is a key task for government. People care about public services and depend on them being delivered well. Public services provide the most common interface between people and the state, and their functioning shapes peoples sense of trust in and expectations of government. At a national level, public services underpin human welfare and economic growth and need to be delivered with integrity, centred around citizens, and responsive to their needs, particularly the needs of the most vulnerable. Promoting greater transparency and enabling ordinary citizens to assess the quality, adequacy and effectiveness of basic services, to voice their needs and preferences and to become involved in innovation offers an opportunity to enable better use of public funds, and improve service delivery. It is also recognised that urban service delivery is an integral part of urban development and enables cities to have economies of scale and economies of settlements. As a result, urban policies, institutional arrangements and initiatives have developed a frame-work of urban infrastructure to produce and deliver urban services to a cross-section of consumers. The citizen focus on services has involved three main factors namely efficiency, resource mobilisation and equity. However, the gap in the normative base of urban services has significantly increased over a period of time across the countries with a particular reference to developing economies. At the same time innovative methods for alternative institutional arrangements, new patterns of financing covering marked borrowings, PPP and community mobilisation have also emerged and recognised by international community. Public Service Provision and Urban Development encompasses a number of major themes related to the analysis of public services. The text evaluates sustainability in urban centres from a social, economic, and environmental perspective. It shows how cities can improve and sustain housing, land use, business activity, and infrastructure. This book will be of great interest not only to political scientists but also to geographers and to sociologists or for those related with community organisations, non-profit advocacy groups, and government sustainability agencies.

Описание: This book explores the 'invisible' impact whiteness has on the lived 'black' experience in the UK. Using education as a philosophical and ethical framework, the author interrogates the vision of Black Radicalism proposed by Kehinde Andrews, exploring its potential applicability to grassroots activism. Clennon uses an interdisciplinary theoretical framework to draw together his previous writings on 'blackness', in effect crystallising the links between commercial (urban) blackness, the pathological structures of whiteness and institutional control. Drawing inspiration from Robbie Shilliam's cosmologically related 'hinterlands' as an antidote to the nature of colonial (Eurocentric) epistemologies, the author uses the polemical chapters as gateways to theoretical discussion about the material effects of whiteness felt on the ground. This controversial and unflinching volume will be of interest to students and scholars of race studies, particularly within education, and the lived black experience.
