This book is for practising professionals and academics working in urban planning and international development: international project staff, trainers, urban development researchers and teaching staff in universities and polytechnics. "Solid Waste Management and Recycling" is unique in that it: utilizes an 'integrated solid waste management perspective' in its analysis; provides embedded case study data; deals with both formal and informal actors and institutional arrangements in solid waste management and recycling; has chapters written by experts from the countries concerned (Kenya and India); can be used in graduate-level courses in urban development, urban management and planning, and technical engineering courses for students, project staff, and technical students.
