ABSTRACT

As urban population accounts for more than half of world population in 2010, UN declared “Urban Millennium.” Most urbanization occurs in developing world. The competition among firms and nations for the world urban development market is intense. The purpose of this study is to analyze barriers and policies for advancing world urban development. Analysis finds that the critical barrier 3 to the developers is the condition of oversea countries because the risk of oversea urban development is high and the risk can be even higher depending on the oversea country’s condition. Therefore, lowering the risk in oversea countries is the most important to policy agenda. Specifically, policies need to aim to build socio-economic cooperation between countries and to lessen financial risk. Reduction in financial risk can be done linked with official development assistance (ODA), fund raising such as infra-fund targeting infrastructure building, credit support, and so forth. The government needs to do general support including diplomatic relationship, funding support, information provision, human resource development, and so forth. Besides, public-private partnership can be a useful vehicle for the oversea urban development.
