The main focus of this book is on understanding the emerging
relationship between State, Market and Social Classes in the city
of Colombo in the context of emerging housing market and citizens'
access to livable house in the city and its suburbs. The people's
recent residential patterns or segregation of the area, urban life
styles, and class formation due to the new housing communities have
received only scant attention. The commercialization of housing as
a commodity by the private builders, whom the State has found
impossible to exclude, due to its dwindling resources and
infrastructure, has successfully manipulated the consumerist zeal
of the consumers, both rich and poor alike, obsessed with status
consciousness. The research findings of the study will help in
formulating appropriate urban housing policies and the appropriate
strategies to cater to the individual housing needs in future. The
book will be of value to sociologists and other social scientists
interested in urban development, politics and planning. The book
will also be of interest to urban planners, city administrators,
urban policy makers, builders and bankers.
