About this book
The 1992 Rio Summit and subsequent literature and debate has focused on `green issues', such as biodiversity, climate change and marine pollution. Much less, however, has been written concerning the `brown' agenda: those issues such as poor sanitation and water quality, air pollution and housing problems, which are particularly prevalent in `Third World' cities. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the brown agenda, with case studies from a number of Southern countries.
