About

Managing cities is an interplay of governance, functions, functionaries and citizens. The Indian cities got their constitutional status imparted through the 74th amendment act of 1992. This work is an attempt to better understand and disseminate a holistic overview of how Indian cities are governed ,what all functions they perform and fiscal soundness of the cites.

The researchers have developed a framework to analyze the efficiency levels of city management through four major parameters, namely; urban governance, municipal finance, service delivery and technology. The data is collected is as reported from the field and also includes the data available in the open domain like annual budgets, annual reports, disclosures on the city websites and interactions with the officials.

Respective state municipal acts have also been referred to for assessing urban governance.
