Liveability or Environmentalism for the Poor
The document explores the concepts of urban liveability and environmentalism for the poor, discussing the myths surrounding self-help initiatives and the socio-economic dynamics of slums. It critiques the effectiveness of urban policies in addressing the needs of low-income communities while promoting eco-urbanism and sustainable city development. The authors emphasize the importance of community control over resources and equitable access for the poor in the face of modern urban challenges.
