Opis

This book explores the notion of distributive justice and waste management, using the in-ward waste disposal (IWWD) policy in Tokyo as a lens in which the policy, politics and technology of waste management in a large city can be examined. This book plots the rise and fall of IWWD and provides alternative perspectives on the allocation of unwelcomed environmental facilities. It highlights the importance of considering multiple variables and the interactions between them to explain the prominence of an idea and its change over time.
