Conceptions of 'sustainable cities' in the pluralistic and
multireligious urban settlements of developing nations need to
develop out of local cultural, religious and historical contexts to
be inclusive and accurately respond to the needs of the poor,
ethnic and religious minorities, and women. Religion and Urbanism
contributes to an expanded understanding of 'sustainable cities' in
South Asia by demonstrating the multiple, and often conflicting
ways in which religion enables or challenges socially equitable and
ecologically sustainable urbanisation in the region. In particular,
this collection focuses on two aspects that must inform the
sustainable cities discourse in South Asia: the intersections of
religion and urban heritage, and religion and various aspects of
informality. This book makes a much-needed contribution to the
nexus between religion and urban planning for researchers,
postgraduate students and policy makers in Sustainable Development,
Development Studies, Urban Studies, Religious Studies, Asian
Studies, Heritage Studies and Urban and Religious Geography.
