The Divided City contributes to the growing body of scholarly work
on cities of the global South. Cities in developing countries,
particularly emerging economies, are undergoing rapid urbanization
and social transition. Empirically grounded to the contemporary
urban situation in India, The Divided City is set in an opportune
moment to assess how cities fare up to the challenge of inclusive
urbanization. It highlights how the urban pathway of contemporary
India departs from the goal of inclusion in multiple ways - access
to energy, public services, architecture, land, infrastructure,
commons, and cultural and civic spaces. It simultaneously
interrogates both policy and theory with intermingling issues like
informality, privatization, political economy and gender divide in
the contemporary Indian city. The book argues for greater urban
inclusion (social, economic and environmental) acknowledged in
principle, in national and international urban policy frameworks.
