Abstract

As rapid urbanization continues to take place, with a projected 70% of the India’s population expected to live in cities by 2050, waste management in proximity to human settlements poses problematic. Although waste generation and failure of its management is seen as a huge problem in developing cities, wealthier cities generate more waste than less affluent cities, and thus waste management is a crucial issue in developed as well as developing cities for obvious ecological reasons and for sustainability. solid waste management includes planning, administrative, financial, engineering, and legal functions. Solutions might include complex inter-disciplinary relations among fields such as public health, city and regional planning, political science, geography, sociology, economics, communication and conservation, demography, engineering. Bangalore city’s Solid waste management techniques were found to be incompetent with increasing rate of waste generation.
