conference contribution
posted on 2006-06-01, 16:58 authored by S. Mansoor Ali, Darren SaywellOver recent decades one of the commonest characteristics
in developing nations has been the disparity between
rapid urban population growth and infrastructure
provision. The product of this mismatch, described as
‘urbanisation without health’ 1 is the catalogue of overcrowding,
growth in illegal settlements, uncollected household
waste, and the absence of water, sanitation and other
basic facilities which are typical of many urban centres in
Africa, Asia and South America. As a result many millions
of the urban poor live in neighbourhoods which are
hazardous to health and well-being.
