Objective
Global South cities have managed public services through socio-technical configurations that provide differentiated alternatives depending on social position. Populations living in low-income neighbourhoods, which in the South accounts for 60–70% of urban housing, seldom have regular access to piped water. They rely on small-scale providers, rain harvesting, and other arrangements. Nevertheless, we do not know much about what happens once the water is transported/stored inside patios, kitchens and other domestic spaces. This is a broader trend: we know little about the socio-ecological life within low-income homes in the urban South. This, despite the fact that it is in these homes that many of the processes sustaining life in the city take place.
