Description

Waste management has become a great challenge for cities and urban areas, especially in countries with a high population density. This book looks at the waste management apparatus of the city of Indore, India to see how the city overhauled its waste management practices and strategies to become one of the cleanest cities in the country. The volume highlights the challenges that the city faced and their use of innovative business models, technology, and infrastructure as well as instituting sweeping policy and process changes to bring change. It examines the city’s successful efforts to bring informal waste management systems to the mainstream and other interventions to close the gaps between government institutions, sanitation workers and the general public. It further throws light on the use of technological interventions that the city government adopted for streamlining waste management and developing a sustainable business model for waste and emission reduction leading to achieve carbon credits and net zero goals. This book will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers of urban planning and management, urban sociology, urban geography, waste management and environmental studies. It will also be useful to policymakers and professionals working in the field of city management planning and governance.
