This paper discusses the concepts of globalisation and urban governance and examines some of its effects on the governance of developing countries. It argues that globalization is three dimensional, having social, economic and political characteristics. It also highlighted that some policy measures such as decentralization, trade liberalization and currency devaluation have negatively impacted on the governance of cities.
