Garbage: exploring non-conventional options in Asian cities

Christine Furedy

Urban Studies Programme, Faculty of Arts, York University, Toronto, Canada, M3J 1P3

Garbage: exploring non-conventional options in Asian cities describes community based waste management projects in Bangalore, Manila, Madras, Jakarta and Kathmandu and assesses their potential as alternatives to the increasingly ineffective conventional organization of residential solid waste services in Asian cities. Two case studies are attached: the first on street pickers in Calcutta slums, the second on a programme to support the renovation and sale of second-hand shoes in Delhi.
