Urban sanitation is a subset of waste management that focuses on the collection, treatment, and disposal of waste in urban areas. It is a complex system that involves the coordination of multiple stakeholders, including local governments, waste management companies, and citizens. Urban sanitation systems are designed to ensure that waste is collected, treated, and disposed of in a safe and efficient manner. This includes the use of appropriate technologies, such as waste-to-energy plants, composting facilities, and landfills. Urban sanitation systems also aim to reduce the environmental impact of waste. This includes reducing the amount of waste that is sent to landfills, as well as reducing the amount of pollution generated by waste. Additionally, urban sanitation systems can help to improve public health by reducing the spread of disease and improving air quality.
