Delivery by Design

Descripción

Delivery by Design examines how Canadian municipalities work together to provide local services such as water, public transit, waste collection, and emergency response. Zachary Spicer asks why municipalities decide to share or contract services with their neighbours, which services are most often shared, and what makes these intermunicipal arrangements succeed or fail. Drawing on surveys, documents, and interviews with local decision-makers, the book maps a little-studied area of local governance and explains why shared service delivery will become increasingly important for Canadian local government.
