There are many urban areas especially in dry countries that are very unlikely to ever get full sewerage. A container based dry toilet solution is IMHO the best technological option for densely populated non-sewered urban areas.

Yes the majority of earth's population lives in urban areas these days and most of them are unsewered.

Many cities in the developing world have either no or only in a very small area sewers, and even less have sewer treatment systems.
