Conflicted Views of Urban India James Manor. 330 $aThis volume emphasises the sociological view that cities are primarily about people, not places or buildings, and explores the social dynamics of urban space in globalising India. Distinguishing between ?locale? and ?milieu? and the community?cosmopolitanism dialectic in urban areas, it elucidates the thematic for urban sociology today. The chapters explore the various perspectives and processes in understanding the urban predicament in India today. The contributors specifically ask: What are the characteristics of the fastest growing cities in India? What are the forces shaping their forms and processes? Who benefits from what type of livelihood options cities offer? How have city administrations been dealing with mounting demands for housing, energy, and water resources, and problems of mass transportation? What implications do these have for the ecology of the city and the surrounding areas? Given the heterogeneity of urban populations, what social processes are at work and how they affect cit[y]zenship and identity? What aspirations and tensions are expressed among different groups, and what implications do these have for inter-group relations? What challenges do inter-group relations pose for urban planning and administration? The contributors include renowned scholars as also young researchers. They go beyond their disciplinary moorings of economics, history, political science, social work, and sociology, and their trans-disciplinary dialogues carry inputs from policy makers, administrators, and grassroots activists working in urban areas. . 410 0$aExploring Urban Change in South Asia,$x2367-0045 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aUrban Studies/Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22250 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aUrban Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49010 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 14$aUrban Studies/Sociology. 615 24$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aUrban Economics. 676 $a307.760954 702 $aJayaram$b N$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910252723603321 996 $aSocial Dynamics of the Urban$92505485 997 $aUNINA
