The gap between our conception of urban poverty and its measurement
" The UN’S monitoring of provision for water does not assess whether the water is safe, or reliable or accessible. What’s more, this global system’s measurement of sanitation does not account for whether pit latrines contaminate the water table in densely populated areas. The UN admits that what it defines as improved provision of water includes large numbers of sources that are faecally contaminated. Surely we can do better than this."
