The Urban                                    Household Energy Transition	Social and Environmental Impacts in the Developing World	Barnes, D.F. Krutilla, K. Hyde, W.	World Bank (financed by)		2004	This                               book develops a comprehensive assessment of the evolution of residential fuel choice and consumption in urban areas in the developing world, and the effect of urban growth on periurban forest resources. Taken together, energy surveys and biomass data contained sufficiently wide variation in urban fuel choice and consumption patterns, local resource conditions, and energy policy regimes to enable an assessment of the factors underlying the evolution of urban fuel utilization and forest resources. By comparing the patterns of energy use of a large number of cities, the auithors were able to distill a comprehensive picture of both the diversity underlying the energy transition and the fundamental principles applying across cases.

Improving Access
Accounting for Poverty in Infrastructure Reform	Learning from Latin America's Experience	Estache, A. Foster, V. Wodon, Q:	World Bank		2002	This book explores the connections between infrastructure reform and poverty alleviation in Latin America based on a detailed analysis of the effects of a decade of reforms. It demonstrates that because the access to, and affordability of, basic services is still a major problem, infrastructure investment will be a core component of poverty alleviation programs in the region. The book shows that although affordability of service tariffs is often an issue, in many instances, access is a much more important concern in meeting the infrastructure needs of the poor. Thus, the authors conclude infrastructure provision is a key poverty-reduction tool.
