This book explores water service provisions of the urban poor in
the cities of Africa with particular emphasis on Kenya and its
capital city of Nairobi. In particular the book addresses the
insecurity of tenure, and how the colonial segregation of land
continues to shape water access and service provision even today in
Nairobi. The book seeks to understand how urban water management
entails the "production of thirst" among the urban poor and
documents how cultural norms, political commitments and seemingly
mundane practices of water managers combine to exclude the poor
from accessing water. Supporters of privatization argue that
private companies may succeed where governments have failed in
supplying water to the urban poor. The author takes a closer look
at this argument, demonstrating the limitations of some of the
current reforms whilst also exploring alternatives and solutions.
This book will be an invaluable reference for students, researchers
and practitioners working in this field.
