online resource
posted on 2008-11-11, 12:19 authored by Michael Smith, M. Sohail (Khan), Darren SaywellProvision of basic services for peri-urban areas creates various problems, and often
receives less priority than similar work in rural or urban areas. This paper describes
some of the characteristics of peri-urban environments and outlines some of the means
available for provision of services. Various social, technical, institutional and economic
problems that may be encountered when planning projects to provide basic services for
peri-urban areas are then identified. Finally, some possible solutions are proposed for
overcoming the various problems.
