Taking administrators, mayors, city council members and citizen groups beyond the development of performance measures for United States city government operations, this book will prepare them for the initial stages for actual performance assessment.

The book will contribute to the design of practical performance measurement systems, the improvement of systems and the establishment of performance standards.
