Urban slum dwellers - especially in emerging-economy countries -
are often poor, live in squalor, and suffer unnecessarily from
disease, disability, premature death, and reduced life expectancy.
Yet living in a city can and should be healthy. Slum Health exposes
how and why slums can be unhealthy; reveals that not all slums are
equal in terms of the hazards and health issues faced by residents;
and suggests how slum dwellers, scientists, and social movements
can come together to make slum life safer, more just, and
healthier. Editors Jason Corburn and Lee Riley argue that valuing
both new biologic and "street" science-professional and lay
knowledge-is crucial for improving the well-being of the millions
of urban poor living in slums.
