Urban slum dwellers - especially in emerging-economy countries - are often poor, live in squalor, and suffer unnecessarily from disease, premature death, and reduced life expectancy. This book exposes how and why slums can be unhealthy and reveals that not all slums are equal in terms of the hazards and health issues faced by residents.
