Description

In this book, experts in both public health and urban development offer an interdisciplinary approach to urban health in the South. They present the most recent research priorities and discuss the management and financing of urban health services; the roles of international agencies such as WHO, the World Bank, UNICEF, and of grassroots NGOs; trends in urban health policy; and progress and prospects for future improvements at conceptual and strategic levels. In addition, a range of case studies and examples look at major initiatives in cities as diverse as Santiago, Dar es Salaam, Kampala, Dhaka and Bombay.
