housing and basic public services such as water and
sanitation. In many poorer cities, for example, adequate
water and sanitation services are primarily channelled
to upper- and middle-class neighbourhoods, while low income neighbourhoods depend on unsafe water wells and lack of waste disposal also live in overcrowded accommodation
