Meeting Development Goals in Small Urban Centres - Water and Sanitation in the Worlds Cities 2006 (Paperback)

*** The follow-up to the highly influential UN-HABITAT publication Water and Sanitation in the World's Cities, described as "surely the most impressive and important publication to come out of the UN system for many years" by Peter Adamson, founder of New Internationalist *** The first major study of water and sanitation issues in the many thousands of settlements in which most of the people of the developing world live *** Essential reading for professionals, researchers, teachers and students Half of the world's people live in urban areas, and roughly a third of these live in desperate poverty without access to basic amenities. Taking on the themes of UN-HABITAT's Water and Sanitation in the World's Cities (2003), this new volume focuses on the deficiencies in the provision of water and sanitation where most of the populations of the developing world live: in towns and small cities. Drawing on extensive unpublished research and 15 commissioned papers from experts involved in designing and implementing innovative projects around the world, this is the first major study of the problems facing the smaller urban centers that are recognized to be of enormous importance by governments, international agencies, NGOs and service providers. Tackling these problems is a crucial part of development and of good governance, and critical to meeting the Millennium Development Goals. The volume will be essential reading for all professionals and researchers in the relevant fields and a valuable resource for teachers and students of urban development.
