The three case studies from Accra in Ghana Jakarta in Indonesia and Sao Paulo in Brazil suggest that the environmental problems of households are not the same as the problems of cities. The case studies also suggest that the worst environmental health problems are in smaller poorer settlements. In these megacities most of the severe urban environmental hazards are in peoples homes and workplaces. Water sanitation solid waste indoor air and pest indicators improved between Accra and Jakarta and between Jakarta and Sao Paulo or with an increase in wealth between each city. Within each city the affluent urban dwellers were more similar between cities and more different between affluent dwellers and poor dwellers who tend to live in high-density indigenous settlements and migrant residential areas with poor access to environmental services. Sao Paulo households had the best environmental conditions in part due to higher levels of affluence and better infrastructure facilities for a greater proportion of the urban population. Sao Paulo also had the highest level of per capita activities that created urban environmental problems albeit with some successful pollution control efforts. Jakarta had the worst city-wide environmental problems that affected fishing agriculture and watersheds but Accra households faced the most pervasive environmental health problems. The problems in urban neighborhoods are often not solved with technology transfer or more efficient markets. The communities require political mobilization and scientific and institutional innovation. Commercial and political pressures do not generally motivate the private sector to provide adequate public services to low-income areas which instead require multisectoral and local community participation responses.","PeriodicalId":337716,"journal":{"name":"The Earthscan Reader in Sustainable Cities","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114270669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
