Abstract
How do people in poor communities understand their needs when it comes to sustainability? Charles Nhemachena and Diana Sanchez Betancourt were involved in a study that attempts to understand community needs and perceptions around issues of social, economic and environmental sustainability in marginalised communities in urban areas, where the provision of basic services to an increasingly growing population is limited.-
