چکیده
Governance is broader notion than government. It involves governments but also civil society (citizens, civic institutions, etc). In the urban management context, governance refers to all the laws, regulations, frameworks systems and processes that shape the way in which the local government operates. These frameworks, processes and systems may be formal or informal. The formal governance structures relate to the political and legal framework in which a city operates. By the informal system we mean the behaviours, systems and processes that have become part of the way the city does business through non legal influences such as culture, historical traditions, social norms, business practices, etc (World Bank Institute, 2000).
