This book examines the interplay between urban growth and the
environmental issues in India. The contributors, who are coming
from diverse disciplines, examine socioeconomic, administrative,
and environmental threats emanating from urbanization (e.g. climate
change, health governance, energy issues, pollution, and e-waste
management) and suggest various measures for dealing with the
challenges of rapid urbanization. Offering a valuable resource for
all those interested in understanding the multifaceted dimensions
of urban growth, the book appeals to researchers, students, and
policymakers, interested in the development studies and urban
studies.
