ABSTRACT

This article analyses the tools that can be used to strengthen and promote the financial governance of cities for sustainable urban development in Morocco, through an empirical study on a sample of 163 actors and partners involved in the cities of the regions of Casablanca-Settat and Rabat-Sale-Kenitra. The literature review first focused on the main concepts required to understand the problem. The empirical part is based on an exploratory study in which we empirically demonstrated the causality links between the different variables of our research model, through Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that the four determinants for strengthening the financial governance of cities are: financial autonomy, consultation and coordination, vision and planning, and budget control and monitoring.
