Abstract
The article describes Penjaringan, one of the eight "living laboratories" on three continents that are part of the lDRC Focus Cities Research Initiative. Working with local research organizations, the project recognizes that assets are bound tightly together in a community, and a deficit in one diminishes the others. Many communities in the Focus Cities initiative are generating income by recycling wastes. In Penjaringan the residents make bricks from sludge and marketable compost from garbage.
