This book lays out the different and complex dimensions of
urbanisation in India. It brings together contributors with
expertise in fields as varied as demography, geography, economics,
political science, sociology, anthropology, architecture, planning
and land use, environmental sciences, creative writing, filmmaking
and grassroots activism to reflect on and examine India's urban
experience. It discusses various dimensions of city life-how to
define the urban; the conditions generating work, living and
(in)security; the nature of contemporary cities; the dilemmas of
creating and executing urban policy, planning and governance; and
the issues concerning ecology and environment. The volume also
articulates and evaluates the way Indian urbanism promotes and
organises aspirations and utopias of the people, whilst
simultaneously endorsing disparities, depravities and conflicts.
The volume includes interventions that shape contemporary debates.
Comprehensive, accessible and topical, it will be useful to
scholars and researchers of urban studies, urban sociology,
development studies, public policy, economics, political studies,
gender studies, city studies, planning and governance. It will also
interest practitioners, think tanks and NGOs working on urban
issues.
