Crafting Child‐friendly Cities: Evidence from Biratnagar Sub‐metropolitan City,Eastern Nepal

Our cities are increasingly becoming the sites where children socialize, observe, and learn how society functions and many local and global activities have impacted children's health and well‐being. The Child‐friendly Cities initiative, launched by the United Nations Children's Fund and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme in 1996, draws in diverse stakeholders to place children at the center of the urban agenda. Based on social work research, this article analyzes the acclaimed status of Biratnagar Sub‐metropolitan city, Eastern Nepal, as a child‐friendly city. Despite its efforts, the city of Biratnagar is yet to meet the required criteria to claim itself as a child‐friendly city. Further improvements by the city administration in achieving children's participation in decision‐making, child‐friendly legal environment, and code of conduct are essential. Based on the evidence, the authors advocate for bottom‐up approaches that include children's voices and their real participation in city governance and a strong political will to craft child‐friendly cities, not as a policy rhetoric but for real. Enabling children to fulfill their potential as equal participants in crafting child‐friendly cities will require adults to relinquish some of their hegemonic powers of decision‐making on behalf of children.

Current Constraints and Future Directions for Risk Adapted Land-Use Planning Practices in the High-Density Asian Setting of Ho Chi Minh City

The need to integrate adaptation efforts into land-use planning policies has been only recently recognized in Ho Chi Minh City. The city's latest planning guidance addresses both flooding resilience and mitigation of urban heat. This paper outlines the development contexts and the current barriers for adapted land-use planning within the city. The key challenge for land-use planning is communicating the important functions and services of open and natural urban spaces and effectively guiding the mainly individual developer-driven development. As the realization of non-structural adaptation measures is in strong contrast to the current market-driven private and short-term developer interests, the main development trajectories are questioned and synergies identified.

城市经营视角下的开发性金融

开发性金融为城市发展的政策性领域做出了贡献,同时国开行也实现了较好的资金效率,这是一个值得重视的现象。在已有理论文献和开发性金融实践的基础上,认为城市经营在经济逻辑上等同于企业经营,在系统层次上高于企业经营,因此城市经营是一个复杂经济运行系统。以复杂系统思想和经济理论为指导,阐述开发性金融通过综合集成机制支持城市经营、并实现稳健现金流循环的经济逻辑。区别于政策性金融理论的外部观察和分析,以商业性金融理论和复杂系统的内部分析来尝试对开发性金融进行新的理解。     

产城协同度测评体系的构建及应用

产城协同发展是走新型城镇化道路,实现区域经济可持续、低成本发展的关键。产业与城市发展之间存在着非线性耦合关系,以此可构建产城协同度测评体系,体系由测量模型、指标体系、指标权重三部分构成。该测评体系可以在很大程度上量化反映出区域产城协同的状况,但测评效度还有待提高。以四川省攀枝花市为例,利用该体系实证测量表明,2004—2011年间,该市产业与城市的发展处于良好协同状态,产城相互支撑发展状况良好。     

我国多层级政府下市管县改革的困境与调适

在我国省—市—县—乡四级制为主的地方层级结构中,市管县体制由于省以下缺乏完善的"分税制"财政体制,事权支出和财权收入划分不明,市县矛盾突出。改革市管县体制,要充分考虑政府间的权责配置和财力匹配问题,因此要合理地划分各级政府的职责事权,配置相应的财力资源,从而实现多层级政府间的协调发展。     

衡阳市推广应用金融IC卡的对策建议

近年来,金融IC卡市场已经有了较大的发展,走在前面的国家主要集中在欧洲,随着银行卡欺诈现象的日益严重,亚太地区如日本、台湾、马来西亚、新加坡等国家也陆续启动金融IC卡市场。我国由于信用卡占银行卡的比重小、借记卡交易口令保护、货币流通尚未完全对外开放,欺诈风险相对较小,目前广泛采用的是银行磁条卡,而金融IC卡市场在我国处于发展的起步阶段。文章以我国金融IC卡市场为背景,以衡阳市为例探讨金融IC卡的推广条件,并有针对性地提出对策和建议。
