How cities can teach sanitation as a right, not a service

A new book examines why sanitation systems fail in cities and argues that teaching networked thinking—connecting water, waste, and urban life—is essential to fix them. For policymakers and city planners, the finding suggests that professional training and public education must shift to treat sanitation as infrastructure tied to human dignity, not just engineering.
