This book discusses effective social innovation strategies facilitated by civil society organisations (CSOs) to tackle India°´9s significant urban sanitation challenge. It presents the contours of an ecosystem that includes citizen participation and strengthening community-managed systems for improved sanitation and public health. The book analyses case studies of effective sanitation programmes as well as experiments with innovative ideas in different regional contexts by CSOs to meet the contextual needs of the community and to ensure access to safe sanitation, especially among the urban poor. It highlights the challenges and the need for active participation of communities for change in behaviour, increasing institutional capacities of municipalities for standardising and scaling up strategies which work. The authors highlight the need for designing low-cost solutions, organising informal sanitation workers, serving marginalised communities and building effective alliances between communities and institutions to influence public policy. Rich in empirical data, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of urban studies, public policy, governance, political science, development studies and sociology as well as for CSOs and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working on urban sanitation, urban planning and public policy.

This book considers whether South-South Cooperation (SSC) is any different from other international partnerships in practice. This question often gets lost in conventional scholarship on SSC and international cooperation, which privileges macro-level narratives of how cooperation mechanisms fit within geopolitical concerns and shape the outcomes of foreign aid. This book instead offers an answer from the ground up. It highlights two main lessons from the close examination of the ecosystem of international cooperation projects in the urban water-and-sanitation sector in Maputo, Mozambique. First, the book shows that macro labels attributed to international cooperation reflect very little about how cooperation projects operate on the ground and the equity consequences of their work. Second, how projects are designed, implemented, and evaluated does matter to the quality of learning that emanates from partnerships. Beyond the geopolitical and technical proximities favored by the SSC discourse, this book argues that what matters in practice is whether hierarchy or heterarchy is institutionalized in the governance of cooperation projects; whether project partners are locally embedded in shared work spaces; and whether practitioners value flexibility and recognize the epistemic value of learning from all partners as peers. A strong evaluation culture within the international development industry, however, still subjugates such equity-based concerns and deep learning in projects to accountability, reinforcing orthodox power asymmetries in cooperation and sustaining epistemic and distributive injustice. This book instead provides a framework for how project evaluations, as a key narrative instrument of development, can instead promote distributive, procedural, and epistemic justice in international cooperation projects.

Dès le début du XIXe siècle, Paris commence à se transformer. Les ruelles insalubres du vieux Paris, la pollution de l'air et de la Bièvre intra muros sont bien connus des pouvoirs publics, qui se font fort d'aménager la capitale. Si les derniers îlots de maraîchage sont repoussés à la périphérie urbaine, on développe une nature domestiquée le long des avenues, dans les squares et les bois. Sous le Second Empire, la métamorphose de Paris s'accélère grâce au baron Haussmann. Les médecins hygiénistes, les philosophes, les artistes contribuent à l'émergence d'une sensibilité pré-écologique, tandis que les pensées socialistes et anarchistes défendent l'idée d'une cité verte et résiliente. Par ailleurs, la colonisation, les voyages, les expositions universelles suscitent l'engouement pour une nature exotique, qui s'introduit en ville, dans les jardins publics ainsi que dans les serres des hôtels particuliers. Toutes ces mutations inspirent les romans, de Balzac à Zola, et les utopies ou les romans d'anticipation de la fin du siècle. Abondamment illustré par des œuvres picturales et photographiques -- de Marville à Renoir, de Monet à Atget --, ce livre confronte les représentations littéraires aux situations réelles et aux évolutions de Paris.
