The work was driven by concern over the quality of the urban environment, and undertaken in a context of uncertainty on the suitability and effectiveness of Bank investment in this area, particularly in regard to components that generate little or no direct revenue, like waste disposal and sewage treatment. The immediate objectives involved addressing specific problems established in consultation with clients, and identifying obstacles and challenges to the improved management of municipal solid waste (MSW) in Indian cities. The broader long-term objective of this work is to support municipal authorities in improving the quality of the urban environment within their jurisdictions, with the aim of achieving related public health and economic benefits.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOANIMALSCAPACITY BUILDINGCOLLECTION OF WASTECOMMUNITIESCOMPOSTINGDISPOSAL PROBLEMDRAINAGEDRAINAGE SYSTEMSEMISSIONSEMPLOYMENTFINAL DISPOSALGARBAGEGARBAGE COLLECTIONGARBAGE COLLECTION SERVICEGARBAGE DISPOSALGENERATION RATELANDFILLLANDFILL CAPACITYLANDFILL FACILITIESLANDFILL SITESLANDFILLSLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMETROPOLITAN CITIESMSWMUNICIPAL SOLIDMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTEMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTMUNICIPAL WASTEMUNICIPAL WASTE MANAGEMENTMUNICIPAL WORKERSMUNICIPALITIESNEIGHBORHOODNIMBYOPERATION & MAINTENANCEPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CONTROLRDFRECYCLINGREFUSESANITATIONSANITATION PROGRAMSCAVENGERSSEWAGESEWAGE TREATMENTSLUMSSOLID WASTE GENERATIONSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSOLID WASTE SYSTEMSSTREET CLEANINGSWMTRANSFER STATIONSTREATMENT TECHNIQUESURBAN AREASURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN DWELLERSURBAN ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONSURBAN INFRASTRUCTUREURBAN POPULATIONURBAN PROJECTSURBAN SANITATIONURBAN SERVICESURBANIZATIONUSER CHARGESVERMICOMPOSTINGWASTE COLLECTIONWASTE COLLECTORSWASTE DISPOSALWASTE DUMPSWASTE GENERATIONWASTE GENERATION RATEWASTE QUANTITIESWASTE STREAMWASTE TO ENERGYWATER SUPPLYWTE10.1596/19463
