This timely Research Handbook explores the handling of city and municipal finances in the 21st century. It examines the impact of the Great Recession and COVID-19 pandemic on cities and municipalities, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and avenues for future progress in city and municipal financial management.

‘This book is a very engaging and informative compilation of research in municipal finance topics. It will serve as a good reference for young scholars just embarking on a research career, as well as more experienced researchers and practitioners looking for summaries of the more important research on a topic. I especially enjoyed the inclusion of relatively new areas of research such as the effects of COVID-19 on fiscal health, the role of cybersecurity in financial risk, and the role of public health spending. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and will use it as a reference for years to come.’
