This timely Handbook explores the handling of city and municipal finances in the 21st century. It examines the impact of the Great Recession and Covid-19 pandemic on cities and municipalities, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and avenues for future progress in city and municipal financial management.
Bringing together leading global scholars of public finance and budgeting, economics, law, political science and policy analysis, this Handbook scrutinises how cities and municipalities have adapted after crisis periods. It combines theoretical ideas, empirical findings and practical applications, focusing on federalist systems as well as including global case studies from diverse governance contexts. Contributors analyse sources of revenue for cities and municipalities, critical areas of spending, fiscal structure, budgeting, debt, pensions and financial resilience. Forward thinking, it considers the strength and resilience of city and municipal finances in meeting long-term liabilities and responding to short-term crises.
This Handbook will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of public finance and administration, urban economics, and political economy. Providing cutting-edge policy recommendations, it will also be a highly useful guide for policy-makers and administrators seeking to effectively guide city and municipal finances.

Critical Acclaim
‘This book is a very engaging and informative compilation of research in municipal finance topics. It will serve as a good reference for young scholars just embarking on a research career, as well as more experienced researchers and practitioners looking for summaries of the more important research on a topic. I especially enjoyed the inclusion of relatively new areas of research such as the effects of COVID-19 on fiscal health, the role of cybersecurity in financial risk, and the role of public health spending. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and will use it as a reference for years to come.’
