| Summary: | This paper identifies links between (i) the emergence of a global niche in food
processing export industries such as those in Vietnam and similar regions of
Southeast Asia, (ii) new forms of governance associated with these dispersed but
densely settled industrial regions that result in a highly decentralized model for
water service provision institutions, and (iii) some of the potentially emerging
health challenges associated with such rapid peri-urbanization, changing
consumption patterns, and decentralized provision of basic infrastructure. Such
settlement and institutional transitions have made the job of the urban planner
more complicated even as it may increase the level of threat to human and
environmental security through the emergence of previously unknown diseases
like avian influenza or the re-emergence of formerly controlled ones such as
dengue fever. |
