The Urban Management Programme (UMP) represents a major approach by the United Nations family of organizations, together with external support agencies (ESAs), to strengthen the contribution that cities and towns in developing countries make towards economic growth, social development, and the alleviation of poverty. The program seeks to develop and promote appropriate policies and tools for municipal finance and administration, land management, infrastructure management, and evnironmental management. Through a capacity building component, the UMP plans to establish an effective partnership with national, regional, and global networks and ESAs in applied research, dissemination of information, and experiences of best practices and promising options.

Abstract
This paper summarizes the findings of a research program on the institutional framework of urban management. Research for the paper has been carried out by the Institute of Local Government Studies, the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, under the sponsorship of the Overseas Development Administration (United Kingdom) (ODA) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank).
Urban management is concerned with the policies, plans, programs, and practices that seek to ensure that population growth is matched by access to basic infrastructure, shelter, and employment. While such access will depend as much, if not more, on private initiatives and enterprise, these are critically affected by public sector policies and functions that only government can perform.
This paper focuses on selected elements of urban management arrangements and on their impact on the effectiveness of urban government in managing urban growth. Characteristics examined are the structure of urban government agencies, the division of tasks between them, their staffing and resource bases, their internal organization and management processes, their relations with central government, and their interaction with private and community organizations. It discusses how differences in these characteristics contribute to (or detract from) effectiveness. In doing so, it acknowledges fully that these characteristics themselves are only one set of factors that determine the success or failure of urban government.
