Evolution of Back-alley Environments
BackgroundBack-alleys are usually dark corners crammed with illegal buildings and obstacles; the environment is filthy and hard to move around. However, as user connection to the sewerage system gradually took place, back alleys were given new looks. This not only reformed urban landscaping but also improved the hygiene of household environments. First line of defense in disease control is thereby fortified.
