Cities in developing countries, particularly emerging economies, are undergoing rapid urbanization and social transition. Empirically grounded to the contemporary urban situation in India, The Divided City is set in an opportune moment to assess how cities fare up to the challenge of inclusive urbanization. It highlights how the urban pathway of contemporary India departs from the goal of inclusion in multiple ways — access to energy, public services, architecture, land, infrastructure, commons, and cultural and civic spaces. It simultaneously interrogates both policy and theory with intermingling issues like informality, privatization, political economy and gender divide in the contemporary Indian city. The book argues for greater urban inclusion (social, economic and environmental) acknowledged in principle, in national and international urban policy frameworks.  aSociology, UrbanvUrbanizationvUrban policyzIndia  2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2019-12-26eOPg726.35i2019-12-20l0o307.760954 SIN-Dp50575r2019-12-27 00:00:00v995.00w2019-12-26yBK
