Summary
  1. "Getting basic services - housing, transportation, trash disposal, water, and sanitation - poses almost unimaginable challenges to the urban poor of Asia. The Inclusive City provides case studies of how governmental programs attempt to meet these challenges by directly involving the poor themselves in improving their access to urban services through collaborative efforts."--BOOK JACKET.
