This paper is aimed at explaining the relationship between growths of cities in the developing countries and urban governance in the 21st century. The recent development has posed numerous challenges to urban finance as well as sustainability of urbanization and its development. In order to finance viable projects, a resource at all levels of government has to be mobilized and also put into proper use for urban management.
