Asher Ghertner -- Index. 330 $aThis book seeks to understand how rapidly proliferating and resource-intensive urbanism affects everyday lived environments and the ecological processes that undergird them in Indian cities. Case studies on nature conservation in the city, urban housing and slum development, waste management, the history and practice of urban planning, and contestations over the quality of air, water, and sanitation in the major cities of Delhi and Mumbai, illuminate the urban ecology perspective at different points across the twentieth century. The book therefore explores how struggles over the environment and quality of life in urban centers are increasingly framed in terms of their future place in a landscape of global sustainability, and the future relationship between cities and their changing hinterlands. It brings both historical particularity and ethnographic nuance to the questions of urban ecology in Indian cities, offering novel insights into some of the most vital theoretical and practical debates on urbanism and sustainability. 606 $aSustainable development$zIndia$vCase studies 606 $aSustainability$zIndia 606 $aUrban ecology (Sociology)$zIndia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSustainable development 615 0$aSustainability 615 0$aUrban ecology (Sociology) 676 $a307.760954 701 $aSivaramakrishnan$b K.$f1957-$01666270 701 $aRademacher$b Anne$0960251 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825917203321 996 $aEcologies of Urbanism in India$94102345 997 $aUNINA
