COST ALLOCATION IN URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING

This paper develops a methodology for allocating infrastructure costs over the community, which uses it or in some way benefits from it. By allowing in a quantitative fashion for the value judgments that form p art of the allocation process, and by establishing links between the v arious beneficiary groups and the funding mechanisms available to the infrastructure provider, a consistent allocation framework has been de veloped that provides clear-cut charging regimes for infrastructure pr ovision.
