Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Reporting on the
innovative, transdisciplinary research on sustainable urbanisation
undertaken by Mistra Urban Futures, a highly influential research
centre based in Sweden (2010-19), this book builds on the Policy
Press title Rethinking Sustainable Cities to make a significant
contribution to evolving theory about comparative urban research.
Highlighting important methodological experiences from across a
variety of diverse contexts in Africa and Europe, this book surveys
key experiences and summarises lessons learned from the Mistra
Urban Futures' global research platforms. It demonstrates best
practice for developing and deploying different forms of
transdisciplinary co-production, covering topics including
neighbourhood transformation and housing justice, sustainable urban
and transport development, urban food security and cultural
heritage.
The importance of social capital in community development cannot be
underplayed. Social capital amongst other things acts as a safety
net for vulnerable groups when it comes to the access of resources
which are poorly distributed. Water is one such resource. Much of
the suffering due to inadequate access to water and sanitation is
borne by the poor, those who live in degraded environments, and
overwhelmingly by women, girls and other vulnerable groups. One of
the most affected vulnerable groups is the People Living with
HIV/AIDS. This is because water is a vital component in the proper
provision of home based care and the management and reduction of
opportunistic infections. This book therefore seeks to bring to the
fore the opportunities presented by social capital for the society
in general and vulnerable groups that may be marginalized for one
reason or another. This book will be instrumental for academics,
community development practitioners and particularly those working
with vulnerable groups and in the field of Natural Resource
Management.
