Description<\/h2>\n

The world is urbanizing fast. In less than a century more than 1 billion people have been urbanized. That translates into the fact that more than half of the world\u2019s population is already living in cities. Experts forecast that very soon Africa will become one of the most urbanized continents. However, almost 70% of world\u2019s urban population is living in the cities where governments are struggling to provide basic services like sanitation, schools, hospitals, and adequate clean water. <\/p>\n

The reason is that, their governments do not have enough money. This may also be true also for the city where you live or work. Poor infrastructure affects your daily life. Local governments struggle with mobilizing finances so that they can improve your quality of life but many times they are not aware of the right mechanisms. <\/p>\n

Imagine that your government wants to know how can they finance cities and they want you to advise \u2013 where will you begin with? Our finance experts are bringing their experience right at your Desk through this MOOC. This MOOC has five modules and in five weeks you will learn:
\n\u2022\tFinancial decision making environment in urban systems
\n\u2022\tMechanisms for mobilizing local revenues
\n\u2022\tInnovative mechanisms for financing infrastructure projects through partnerships, and
\n\u2022\tFinancial decision making under uncertainties and risks<\/p>\n
