to the most pressing problems of urban develop- ment worldwide,
including environmental degradation, uncontrolled urban growth,
insecure land tenure for the urban poor, inadequate decision
making and planning systems, poor housing and working conditions,
inade- quate infrastructure, water and air pollution, waste
and deteriorating historic areas.
