Supplementary Materials for "World Resources Report: Towards a More Equal City"
To address the absence of comparable city-level water data, this dataset compiles data from 15 global South cities located in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America and among the regions that are the focus of the World Resources Report (WRR) "Towards a More Equal City". The 15 cities are Kampala, Uganda; Lagos, Nigeria; Maputo, Mozambique; Mzuzu, Malawi; Nairobi, Kenya; Bengaluru, India; Colombo, Sri Lanka; Dhaka, Bangladesh; Karachi, Pakistan; Mumbai, India; Caracas, Venezuela; Cochabamba, Bolivia; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; São Paulo, Brazil; and Santiago de Cali, Colombia.
The dataset for each city includes comparable data for one informal settlement. The selected informal settlement is not necessarily representative of patterns across all informal settlements. For example, centrally located informal settlements may be connected to formal networks, whereas informal settlements on the periphery are not and would have drastically different experiences with respect to the access, affordability, and quality of water and sanitation services.
