by David WestendorffApproaches to sustainable development in cities
of the South have focused too exclusively on narrow technical
aspects of environmental protection, and have not benefited the
large majority of urban residents in cities and peri-urban areas.
However, in many countries of the South, the disengagement of
government along with budgetary constraints, a reliance on
cost-recovery mechanisms within structural adjustment packages, and
increasing disparity between poor and rich, further reduce access
by the poor to even the most rudimentary services. "Development and
Cities" focuses on the political, social, and economic viability of
new or alternative approaches to urban management in the South that
best increase access to adequate levels of basic services and
healthy living and working conditions for all. Case-studies include
cities from Argentina, Cuba, India, Pakistan, Peru, the
Philippines, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. Contributors include Adrian
Atkinson, Diego Carrisn, Karina Constantino-David, Jaime Joseph, W.
J. Kombe, Amitabh Kundu, Darshini Mahadevia, Fernando Murillo,
Cesare Ottolini, Geoffrey Payne, and Hilhne Rivihre d'Arc.
