New edition of Environmental Problems in Third World Cities
Cities in Africa, Asia and Latin America contain some of the world's most life- and health-threatening human environments. Environment-related diseases and injuries cause millions of preventable deaths each year. In many squatter settlements, children are 40 to 50 times more likely to die before the age of five than they would be in Europe or North America and most such deaths are environment-related. Many cities also cause serious environmental degradation to their surroundings and increasingly contribute to global warming.
This updated and much expanded edition of the classic Environmental Problems in Third
World Cities describes environmental problems and their effect on human health, local ecosystems and global cycles. It points to the political causes that underpin many of these problems - including ineffective, unaccountable governments, and aid agencies' reluctance to work with the urban poor. It also highlights innovative solutions such as:
* High-quality, low-cost homes and neighbourhoods developed by urban poor groups working with local non-governmental organizations * Local Agenda 21s developed by municipal governments in partnership with community organizations.*
In their analysis, the authors show that cities can meet sustainable development goals. There are practical, affordable solutions to their environmental problems, but most of these depend on more competent and accountable city governments and on more support for low-income households and their organizations. The book also outlines the changes needed international aid agencies to support this.
PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION
'It's rare to encounter a work as authoritative and accessible as this. It is a mine of useful information from cities in every corner of the Third World, which does not shy away from the immensity of the problems, but says as much about the solutions to them as about the problems themselves' Jonathon Porritt
'Well written and very accessible' The Geographical Journal
'Of value to students, teachers, practitioners, policy makers and aid agencies'
Third World Planning Review
'A valuable resource for understanding the underlying problems�[this book offers] practical alternatives'
Cities International.
Ennen Memmoa muistiinpanoni olivat hajallaan PDF-tiedostoissa. Nyt työtila kokoaa kaiken yhteen – näen tarkalleen, mitä on vielä opiskeltavana.
Memmon yhteenvedot ovat kultaa ennen kokeita. Minun ei tarvitse lukea 800 sivua uudelleen kaksi viikkoa ennen – vain tärkeimmät osat.
AI-chat on pelastanut minut useammin kuin kerran tenttiä edeltävänä iltana. Kysyn vain, kunnes ymmärrän – ilman, että tarvitsee odottaa opiskeluryhmän vastausta.
Visat osuvat juuri siihen, mitä minun tarvitsee tietää. Memmo seuraa, mihin jään jumiin – joten harjoittelen vain sitä, mikä on sen arvoista.
Muistikortit toistuvalla harjoittelulla ovat taikaa. Memmo tietää, milloin olen unohtamassa jotain, ja tuo sen takaisin.
AI-podcastit ovat suosikkini. Kuuntelen niitä matkalla kouluun ja saan kertauksen ilman, että tarvitsee istua tietokoneen ääressä.
