Acknowledgements
My thanks go to all the individuals who took time to answer my questions during interviews in the UK and Pakistan and to explain and demonstrate their mapping methodologies and outputs to me. I’m especially grateful to OPPRTI and ASB in Pakistan. This report would not have been possible without their professional and dedicated organisation of my itinerary in Karachi and in Faisalabad and Jaranwala and their openness to all my questions and comprehensive explanation of their work. I am also thankful to Roya Jodieri who wrote the Annex describing ASB’s approach to GIS mapping in Jaranwala in more detail.

    60% of the population in Mumbai are estimated to live in Slums, the largest of which is quite near the city centre and is known as Dharavi. Here the homes are made out of materials that people have found such as corrugated iron and wood. Over time people upgrade their housing to make it more substantial as they are able to afford to. The buildings are not just homes but also function as workshops where people run small businesses such as metal smelters. The homes were not planned for by the city authorities and hence basic services were not provided before homes were built. Therefore there are open sewers in the streets, homes do not all have running water but must use standpipes in the streets which may only have water for a few hours each day. The water is often contaminated with sewage and there are significant health problems. Basic services like rubbish collection do not exist and the streets are piled high with garbage which is picked through by the recyclers. People are on such low incomes that many people are malnourished. The population has grown so fast that there are not enough doctors or school places for everyone who wants them so levels of literacy are…

    In all three cities, Governments made uneducated decisions, ignoring science, and relied on a profit-oriented approach. It was the differing activist movements that led to varying sanitation and sewage system development. While Britain and the United States continue to advance in sanitation technology, India still lags. It is estimated that over half of the human feces in most urban areas of India is not collected.[xiii] Moving forward, it is our responsibility to seek innovation, continually challenging government reform, in hopes of creating a more prosperous…

    Water is one of the primary needs of human beings. Unfortunately the availability of this essential requirement is not sufficient to entertain and fulfill the needs of this city of more than twenty million people. This problem becomes even brutal in summer season. Government has to take necessary steps to solve this problem as the quantity of water is enough for the people, the problem is just in its supply. In some areas a large amount of water is wasted whereas in others people even struggle to diminish their thirst. Moreover, water tanker mafia is another cause of shortage of water in Karachi. It earns billions annually, it steals about major percentage of the water from the city’s bulk distribution system every day and then sells it at excessive rates to residents and industries suffering from the water shortage that is largely caused by the activities of the water tanker mafia itself.…

    Sanitation can best be defined as the way of collecting and disposing of excreta and community liquid waste in a germ-free way so as not to risk the health of persons or the community as a whole (WEDC, 1998). Sanitation systems properly designed, may not necessarily be appropriate for a group of people when relevant factors like social and cultural practices affecting sanitation and hygiene are not taken into account. Lack of sanitation facilities may be attributable to government, poverty, or other factors but community members are responsible for most of the factors that affect their environment and health. This is evident in communities who prefer the use of water for…
