As one of the worlds most powerful supranational institutions, the World Bank has played an important role in international development discourse and practice since 1946. This is the first booklength history and analysis of the Banks urban programs and their complex relationship to urban policy formulation in the developing world. Through extensive primary research, the book examines four major themes: the political and economic forces that propelled the reluctant World Bank to finally embrace urban programs in the 1970s how the Bank fashioned its general ideology of development into specific urban projects trends and transitions within the Banks urban agenda from its inception to the present the World Banks historic and contemporary role in the complex interaction between global, national, and local forces that shape the urban agendas of developing countries.The book also examines how protests from NGOs and civic movements, in the context of globalization and neoliberalism, have influenced the World Bank policies from the 1990s to the present. The institutions attempts to restructure and legitimate itself, in light of shifting geopolitical and intellectual contexts, are considered throughout.
