Overview

The demands of sustainable development require us to rethink the current approach towards the way in which we dispose of waste. Considerable progress is being made in the areas of solid waste recycling and renewable energy production but the sustainable management of human waste is an area that is still in its infancy. However, the need for sustainable sanitation is becoming critical due to the need to safeguard our fresh water sources from contamination, recycle valuable nutrients contained in excreta for food production, and conserve energy. In this book, the authors seek to define what sustainable sanitation means in the urban context and how this can be achieved within the constraints and complexities of the urban environment. The authors redefine the relationship between sanitary engineering and urban planning and thus contribute to the ongoing debate on urban sustainability. The book is dedicated to innovative approaches to sanitation and illustrates what putting sustainable sanitation into action means in practice.
