TL;DR: The use of co-production, when considered as a strategy used by citizens and the state to extend access to basic services with relatively little consideration given to its wider political ramifications, is examined in this article.

TL;DR: The third in a series on Third World cities and focusing on urban environmental pollution is presented in this paper, which considers the scale and scope of environmental problems in cities and offers some priorities for action.

TL;DR: A successful city is one that meets multiple goals as discussed by the authors, such as healthy living and working environments for the inhabitants; water supply provision for sanitation rubbish collection and disposal drains paved roads and footpaths and other forms of infrastructure and services that are essential for health (and important for a prosperous economic base) available to all.

TL;DR: In this article, the notion of development alternatives in terms of the politics and political economy of social change is considered, a rethinking that will help define the contours for a theory of NGOs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider community-based adaptation to climate change and its relationship to the theory and practice of participatory development, and argue that without attention to risks and uncertainty, political structures and institutions, the necessarily multi-level nature of adaptation policy and programming, and the links between mitigation and adaptation politics and practice, outcomes of CBA interventions are unlikely to support propoor development.
