Only by incorporating advances in management and operations of urban service networkscan sustainable growth in the 21st century be accomplished. Emerging strategic methods that combinecommunity development systems with economic development and management is a daunting task thatmany communities are struggling with today but must be converted into viable and competitive growthengines in both developing and industrialised economies.
