Improving human and environmental health in urban informal settlements: the Revitalising Informal Settlements and their Environments (RISE) programme

Abstract

Urbanisation is a major demographic trend globally. Urban informal settlements account for much urban growth, with nearly 1 billion people currently living in informal settlements and 2 billion having inadequate water and sanitation services.1,2 Polluted water and inadequate water supply, sanitation, and hygiene cause around 80% of diseases and one in four deaths in low-income countries.3 Projections indicate that, unless radical changes are made, more than 3 billion people will live in urban informal settlements by 2050.
