520 "Urban slum dwellers--especially in emerging-economy
cities--are often poor, live in squalor, and suffer
unnecessarily from disease, disability, premature death,
and poor life expectancy. Yet living in a city can and
should be healthy. Slum Health highlights why and how
slums can be unhealthy, reveals that not all slums are
equal in terms of the hazards and health issues faced by
residents, and suggests how slum dwellers, scientists, and
social movements can come together to make slum life safer,
more just, and healthier. Editors Jason Corburn and Lee
Riley argue that both new biologic and "street" science--
or valuing professional and lay knowledge--are crucial for
improving the well-being of the millions of urban poor
living in slums."--Provided by publisher.
