There is a need for environmental action at the local level, but there is little solid information available for building public commitment, planning and decision making. One solution for resolving this contradiction is to apply the methodology for rapid urban environmental assessment that is proposed in this report. This first volume is designed for an audience for urban managers, policy makers, analyst, and researches. It presents the techniques, summarizes results from applying the approach in a select number of cities, and suggests directions and improvements.
