About this product
Product Information
Over 2 billion people lack access to clean water; 3.6 billion have no toilets or basic sanitation at home. The COVID-19 pandemic laid bare the devastating results of such inequities in cities across the globe. As cities continue to grow, huge demands are placed on already woefully insufficient sanitation, water, and waste systems. What is to be done? Colin McFarlane outlines the worldwide sanitation crisis and offers a vision for a renewed, equitable investment that could democratise and liberate the modern city. Adopting Henri Lefebvre's concept of 'the right to the city', McFarlane uses the notion of 'citylife' to reframe the debate on sanitation from a narrowly defined policy discussion to an essential question of public life and health.

Reviews
"In this brilliant book bristling with ideas and evidence from around the Global South, Colin McFarlane maps the world's sanitation crisis as well as a way out of it through a manifesto of rights to the city that connects up vernacular strategies of making infrastructure, a public right to wellbeing, and city efforts to improve systems. The book is full of hope and possibility without ever losing sight of the sanitation catastrophe we face.'" --Ash Amin, Emeritus 1931 Chair of Geography, Cambridge University "Interesting, insightful, sometimes surprising, beautifully written, challenges us to look at sanitation (and lack of it) in new ways." --David Satterthwaite, International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) "In this immensely well written and accessible book, Colin McFarlane draws on over two decades of his research on sanitation, setting out his argument as to why access to toilets is fundamental not only to reducing poverty and inequality but also to what he refers to as citylife, or the right to a liveable urban life. His superb command of his subject starts with the fleshy, messy feminist understanding of sanitation as a bodily act and of the millions of people living through the crisis of sanitation, at the centre of which lies the social reproductive labour of women and girls. From people he moves comprehensively across sanitation's material infrastructures (the 'things' of sanitation) and lives (the urban ecologies of human and non-human animals and microbes and the politics of the body), to protest (human waste is political!) and allocation (who gets what sanitation resources, where). It is this networked view of sanitation, as far more than a simple technical or policy issue, that underpins the democratic right to citylife. This is a brilliantly incisive book, setting a global agenda for all of us who care about cities, poverty and inequality. For those urban researchers and activists for whom the urban sanitation crisis is not yet on that agenda it will be after reading this book." --Linda Peake, Director, The City Institute, York University, Toronto "Marks the culmination of his path-breaking research on the global sanitation crisis. Waste and the City is both a sober assessment of the scale of the challenge and also an affirmation of multiple social and political possibilities to create better urban worlds." --Matthew Gandy, Professor of Geography, University of Cambridge, "In this brilliant book bristling with ideas and evidence from around the Global South, Colin McFarlane maps the world's sanitation crisis as well as a way out of it through a manifesto of rights to the city that connects up vernacular strategies of making infrastructure, a public right to wellbeing, and city efforts to improve systems. The book is full of hope and possibility without ever losing sight of the sanitation catastrophe we face.'" --Ash Amin, Emeritus 1931 Chair of Geography, Cambridge University "Interesting, insightful, sometimes surprising, beautifully written, challenges us to look at sanitation (and lack of it) in new ways." --David Satterthwaite, International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), "In this brilliant book bristling with ideas and evidence from around the Global South, Colin McFarlane maps the world's sanitation crisis as well as a way out of it through a manifesto of rights to the city that connects up vernacular strategies of making infrastructure, a public right to wellbeing, and city efforts to improve systems. The book is full of hope and possibility without ever losing sight of the sanitation catastrophe we face.'" --Ash Amin, Emeritus 1931 Chair of Geography, Cambridge University " Praise for Learning the City " : "McFarlane's work stands out in that it tells us how residents from various walks of life actually learn to operate in heterogeneous and often volatile urban environments. Instead of assuming that urban dwellers walk around with preconceived maps in their heads, this book provides a comprehensive account of the various practices, mobilizations and tools they use over time so that the city becomes a staging area for new capacities and potentials" --AbdouMaliq Simone "In a world where the usual North-South dichotomies are being disturbed, McFarlane's emphasis on a postcolonial approach to practices of learning is a valuable framework." --Ananya Roy " Praise for Fragments of the City " : "One of the most original urban scholars of his generation...Richly layered and generous in its propositions, it shows us what an innovative grammar for grasping the complexity of our city worlds could look like." --Filip De Boeck "McFarlane crafts a vital experiment, working with a composition of fragments to suggest alternative forms for researching, writing, and imagining life in the urban margins." --Suzanne Hall " Praise for Global Urbanism " : "Will serve as a guidepost for how we reflect about and act upon urbanization for the foreseeable future." --Professor Roger Keil

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
