  This book teaches how harm reduction can be a safety net for people with substance use disorders that our current addiction treatment rejects, abandons, and leaves behind. 
   
   
   
  Harm reduction is an approach to helping people who engage in high-risk activities to develop the skills and strategies to keep them and their communities safe. This can include the provision of sterile equipment, low-threshold and low-barrier care, and the acceptance of non-abstinence goals in treatment. In this novel guide, Dr. Vakharia discusses the shortcomings of the dominant "Just Say No" drug prevention messages and abstinence-only treatment approaches, introduces harm reduction strategies and technologies borne from people who use drugs themselves, and suggests various policy options available as alternatives to the current policies that criminalize drugs, drug-using equipment, and the settings in which people use drugs. The final chapter calls on the listener to destigmatize drug use and support efforts to reform our drug policies. 
   
   
   
  By highlighting the large gap in our current approach to substance use—the harm reduction gap—this book is the first step for those interested in learning more about the limitations of our current approach to drug use and how to support local efforts to ensure people who use drugs and their communities can stay safe.

  Urban growth and development have been central to human progress for centuries, shaping the landscape, economies, and cultures of societies around the world. As the global population continues to urbanize, cities are experiencing rapid expansion and transformation. This urbanization process, which involves the migration of people from rural to urban areas, is driven by a combination of economic, social, and political factors. Understanding the forces behind urban growth is essential for urban planners, policymakers, and scholars who aim to navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with it. 
  The rise of cities is closely linked to the development of agriculture, trade, and industry. In early history, cities were established as centers of commerce and governance, offering opportunities for social, political, and economic advancement. With the Industrial Revolution, cities became hubs of production, attracting large numbers of people seeking employment and better living conditions. This period marked a significant shift from agrarian economies to industrial economies, fueling the growth of urban centers across Europe and North America. 
  In the modern era, urbanization has reached unprecedented levels, with more than half of the world’s population now residing in urban areas. The growth of cities is not limited to developed countries but is also occurring rapidly in the developing world, particularly in regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This has led to the expansion of megacities—urban areas with populations exceeding 10 million people—while smaller cities also experience considerable growth. The factors driving this global urbanization include the pursuit of better economic opportunities, access to education and healthcare, and the promise of improved living standards.
