Cities, Regions and Privatised Utilities

0/5 ( ratings)

Utility networks are physically embedded in places and they also operate within a regulated environment which imposes obligations on them. Within this framework they need to demonstrate commercial success which is directly related to new management strategies that have profound implications for the economic social and environmental performance of localities and regions. Privatisation and liberalisation have heralded a movement from relatively uniform service provision to a utility patchwork with increased variations in tariffs, and styles of service provision. Realisation amongst urban studies and policy makers communities that utility strategies raise important issues for urban and regional development has been slow to emerge. But this is now rapidly changing. Voluntary and community groups and charities have attempted to ensure that low income households gain access to affordable water, heat, light and communication services.
