About this title

Synopsis:

THE ORANGI PILOT project is best known for its low-cost sanitation project which began in the Orangi district of Karachi nearly 20 years ago. This book by Zaidi documents and assesses the impact of the major sanitation program in Karachi and across other cities in Pakistan. The book presents case studies of the Orangi Pilot Program model being replicated in other settlements, as well as presenting the detractors' views. It concludes with a discussion on its originality and worth, looking at its shortcomings as well as its successes, before finishing with some suggestions on how to take the pilot's work forward in the future.
