the Objective Of This Report Is To Consider One Important Part Of The Transition Process For Countries In Central And Eastern Europe: That Is, The Role That Urban Policy Has Played And Continues To Play In The Move To Market-based Economies. Beside Tracing The Historical Circumstances That Affect The Way Cities In Transition Economies Function, It Shows The Effects That These Circumstances Have On The Opportunities And Concerns That Exist For Policymakers. The Report Is Organized As Follows: Section 1 Discusses The Fundamental Differences Between The Initial Conditions In The Region's Transition Economies And Those In Other Countries. It Considers The Effects That Socialist Planning Had On The Distribution Of Population Across Cities And Within Cities, Respectively, Then It Reviews The Implications Of These Conditions For Urban Poverty. Section 2 Considers The Principal Concerns For City Management Implied By These Unique Urban Problems. There Are At Least Three Systemic Issues That Urban Policies Must Address. They Are Allocating Resources Efficiently, Managing Social Safety Nets, And Building Strong Local Institutions. Section 3 Provides Proposals For Action. It Discusses The Policies That Can Help Achieve A More Equitable, Sustainable Economic Environment Taking Into Account The Historically Unique Features Of Urban Development In The Region. This Section Then Goes On To Identify Priorities And Strategies For The Region And The World Bank.

Annotation While the economies of Europe and Central Asia (ECA) have spiraled downward over the past decade, they have made some progress in other spheres. Civil liberties and democracy are taking root in many of the ECA countries, and new opportunities are being created and exploited as the region opens to the global economy. For most ECA countries, however, the transition process remains fragile. The urban areas have been hit hardest. The closing of state industries and excessive urbanization have left cities impoverished in many of the former socialist countries. This phenomenon contrasts sharply with developing countries where poverty predominates in the rural areas. With poverty reduction as the Bank's main mission, focus on urban poverty in transition economies is imperative. 'From Commissars to Mayors' examines the effects of the past socialist policies on the way the cities in transition economies function today. It considers the principal concerns for city management and proposes action plans to achieve a more equitable, sustainable economic environment. It also identifies priorities and strategies for the region and for the World Bank
