Description

Approaches to sustainable development in cities of the South have focused too exclusively on narrow technical aspects of environmental protection with no benefit to most urban residents. However, in many countries of the South, the disengagement of government, along with budgetary constraints and a reliance on cost-recovery mechanisms within structural adjustment packages, further reduces poor people's access to even the most rudimentary services. This book focuses on the political, social and economic viability of new or alternative approaches to urban management in the South, aiming to increase access to adequate levels of basic services and health living and working conditions.
