Cities are centres of exciting events, flows, movements and
contradictions that produce both opportunities and challenges.
Evolved through the centuries, they display layers of spatial,
cultural and socio-economic diversity and contestations, which are
articulated in multiple ways. It is in this backdrop that the
present volume addresses some of the myriad issues visible in the
contemporary cities of the Global South. The volume is divided into
three parts, each of them focusing on different dimension of
contemporary urban challenges. Part I entitled 'The Concept of a
City' contains five papers dealing with conceptual complexities of
the urban. This part analyses as to what extent development
intrudes on urban space and space in turn influences development.
Part II 'City and Urban Space' contains six papers. These focus on
the existing patterns, processes, and perspectives of urbanization
and its consequent everyday manifestations across different cities.
Part III 'Urban Policy, Planning and Governance' has six papers
dealing with policy and planning. In the wake of rapid urbanization
and economic growth, the urban sector is swiftly changing towards
being economic engines. Cities and towns being the centres of
economic activities play a catalytic role in contributing to
economic development and poverty reduction. However, there are
layers of challenges that these cities face. This timely volume
brings out these challenges and also analyses plausible solutions
which can be brought about by the efficient and effective provision
of essential urban services and infrastructure. Please note: This
title is co-published with Manohar Publishers, New Delhi. Taylor
