It is no gainsay that urbanization continues at a record pace all over the world, most especially in emerging economies. Some of the observable impacts of rapidly growing urbanization and economic development in cities of developing nations are witnessed in environmental issues connected to poor sanitation associated with waste management challenges, defects in urban drainages, flooding, shortfall in potable water supply, lack of sustainable infrastructure, degradation by human activities, air-, water-, soil- and land-pollution, among several others. The cities consume a substantial quantity of materials and energy and release large quantity of waste. In this wise, the cluster explores the nature of the urban environment, characterize it and determine how it affects human and well-being. The cluster helps provide with a wider scope of possibilities, particularly applying global solution to local problems, and advances that can be transferred and implemented in our own context.
