Doing Business in 2006
This publication is the third in a series of annual reports giving a comparative analysis of business regulations and their enforcement across 155 countries and over time. Comparable data indicators are given for 10 topics: starting a business, dealing with licences, hiring and firing workers, registering property, getting credit, investment protection, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and closing a business. These indicators are used to assess socio-economic outcomes including levels of unemployment and poverty, productivity, investment and corruption; and to identify which regulatory measures enhance business activity and those that work to constrain it. This is a co-publication of the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation.
Public Private Partnerships for Urban Water Utilities
'Public-Private Partnerships for Urban Water Utilities: A Review of Experiences in Developing Countries' analyzes the market growth of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the developing world since 1990, and the performance of more than 65 large water PPP projects representing more than 100 million people for access, service quality, operational efficiency, and tariff levels. Although a relatively small portion of the water utilities in the developing world are operated under PPPs (about 7 percent in 2007), the urban population served by private water operators has grown every year since 1990.

Urban Policy in Latin America
This book evaluates the impact of 20 years of urban policies in six Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico. It argues that evaluating the fulfillment of past commitments is essential for framing and meeting the new commitments that were taken in Habitat III over the next 20 years. Taken as a whole, the book provides a critical assessment of the economic, social and environmental consequences of urban interventions during Habitat II. The country-level chapters have been written by recognized experts in urban issues, with first-hand knowledge of the Habitat process, and deep familiarity with the problems, statistics, actors and political contexts of their nations. The latter part of the volume considers wider topics such as the Habitat Commitment Index, the New Urban Agenda and the regional and global-scale lessons that can be extracted from this group of countries. Urban Policy in Latin America will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and policymakers across development economics, urban studies and Latin American studies.

Gerencia de proyectos inmobiliarios
Esta obra es resultado de la experiencia de Camilo Congote Hernández como coordinador y gerente de proyectos, empresario de la construcción y profesor universitario durante los últimos treinta y cinco años. Congote sabe que el gerente de proyectos es como el director de la orquesta, quien se apoya en su grupo de músicos para lograr una ejecución exitosa. Así, para enseñar los temas centrales del mundo de la construcción, ha reunido aportes de sus colegas, competidores y asesores en muchas de las materias que conforman la cadena de valor y la producción de inmuebles, consolidando en estos dos tomos una mirada enriquecida y profunda sobre la gerencia. Los aportes aquí reunidos llevarán al lector a conocer anécdotas, problemas y soluciones que se han presentado en el desarrollo de proyectos inmobiliarios y de empresas del sector, al tiempo que darán lugar a reflexiones y permitirán fortalecer conceptos clave en la formación de futuros gerentes.
