Article Abstract:
A useful strategy for urban environmental management is to include the informal sector in the urban built-environment. Physical accommodation of the informal sector is necessary to control environmental problems and to improve urban environmental management. The provision of proper business premises can be a positive step. Economic activities of the informal sector are responsible for minimum environmental pollution. The policies on urban environmental management need to solve the tenure status of the informal economic sector to enhance environmental discipline.
