Abstract
Brunei Darussalam is the smallest country in Southeast Asia. Wealth derived from its hydrocarbon resources has enabled the state to provide its citizens a high quality of life. A small population also helps to lessen environmental degradation associated with competition for urban space common in fast-urbanizing parts of the Asia-Pacific region. As a hereditary monarchy with embedded Islamic values, the sultanate’s social and political processes are distinct from its neighbours; yet, in many ways, the state’s priority is similar to other governments’, i.e. to provide essential services for building a stable and developed society. Selected examples of service delivery in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam’s largest urban centre, provide clearer understanding of the related issues.
