India's reluctant urbanization : thinking beyond
Tiwari, Piyush...et.al.
India's reluctant urbanization : thinking beyond - 1st ed. - New York: Palgrave Macmillan, c2024. - vii, 259p.
Included bibliography and index.
Given the expected scale of the urban transformation in India over the next few years and the time span within which this will occur, this study presents a crucial analysis of the challenges facing 'urban' India. Through a close examination of India's policies, economic system, social systems and politics, it explores the numerous perspectives and debates on India's urbanization. The book attempts to disaggregate the overall macro 'picture' of increased urbanization painted in recent policy discourses to understand where it is happening, what the drivers/forces are - local, regional, national and international, the dividends and perils of urbanization, actors/stakeholders and their engagement with 'urban' at various levels - from grass root level to overall city level, and the future of urbanization. The authors link contemporary urban issues with emerging challenges associated with policies and city management, matters which are yet to attract sufficient attention in public discourse.
