Developing countries worldwide have been embarking on 'smart
cities' programmes using new technology solutions to improve public
services. Faced with severe problems of the digital divide,
poverty, unemployment, inequality, and financial and social
exclusion, these cities have to negotiate hard in order to reach
their goals. This book examines urban governance, digital divide,
poverty, unemployment, financial and social exclusion and presents
a theoretical perspective on inclusive cities, urbanization,
migration, slums and affordable housing. The book aims at
formulating and implementing an agenda for inclusive, equitable,
and sustainable urban development in tune with the UN-SDGs, the New
Urban Agenda of Habitat III, and India's new national urban
missions. It probes into the scope of adopting inclusionary urban
planning, zoning, and housing, financing inclusive city development
and poverty alleviation through municipal finance reforms using
findings and lessons from detailed field studies of Indian cities.
It also suggests an Agenda for Slum-free and Poverty-free cities in
an attempt to make these cities more people-focused, humane and
inclusionary. This book will be of interest to scholars and
researchers of political science, policy studies, public
administration, urban studies, urban planning and management, urban
sociology and geography, besides being of interest to policy
researchers, community workers, grass roots researchers, policy
makers, and sociologists.
