Focus Cities Videos

The following eight short videos introduce each Focus City project by giving an overview of the main environmental and social challenges faced by poor urban dwellers. Through the testimonies of community members and researchers, we learn about the research and action strategies deployed by each city team to find solutions to improve environmental conditions while helping to reduce poverty.
