This study aims to find a model for financing infrastructure development in autonomous areas. This research uses a qualitative approach to explorative research methods. This research was carried out in the autonomous area of Bandung City, West Java Province, Indonesia. Primary data sources were obtained from in-depth interviews, while secondary data were obtained from several kinds of literature related to the research topic. The study results show that the budget allocation for financing infrastructure development in the Regional Revenue and Expenditures Budget (APBD) is minimal. So far, the APBD allocation has been significant to finance routine employee spending. Creativity by the Bandung City Government in financing infrastructure development can be a reference for other local governments in overcoming the problem of budget allocation. There are three financing models for infrastructure development undertaken by the Bandung City Government, including (1) conventional models, (2) transitional models, and; (3) ideal model (sustainability budget). The conventional financing model is entirely sourced from the APBD. Transitional model, a combination of the budget from the APBD and partnerships with other parties. In contrast, the ideal financing model is entirely sourced from the non-APBD budget.
