Based on in-depth fieldwork in three cities, Dar es Salaam,
Zanzibar and Lusaka, this book provides a critical analysis of the
United Nations Sustainable Cities Program in Africa (SCP). Focusing
on the SCP's policies for solid waste management, which was
identified as the top priority problem by the SCP, the book
examines the success of these pilot schemes and the SCP's record in
building new relationships between people and government. It argues
that the SCP has operated in a political vacuum, without
recognition of the long and problematic histories and cultural
politics of urban environmental governance in Eastern and Southern
Africa. This book brings these cultural and political histories to
the fore in its examination of the contemporary dynamics. In doing
so, it not only provides an insightful analysis of the policies and
outcomes for the SCP, but also puts forward a historically grounded
critique of neoliberalism, good governance and sustainable
development discourses.
