Environmental hazards and policy change in urban Pakistan

Policy brief Sustainable Growth, Cities, water and sanitation and municipal governments

Why don’t more governments prioritise clean air and water in the developing world? And why don’t voters demand these public goods from their representatives?

Focusing on environmental degradation of water in Lahore, this policy brief considers how the solutions to environmental issues alter individuals' ability to engage in and take action on them?
