In the wake of the neoliberal turn in India, urban development is increasingly gaining importance. This is not only because of the significant rise in urban population in recent years but also because urban areas are seen as the main engines of growth. The creation of new urban spaces and the development of the existing ones are deemed as the means towards greater progress of the economy. Therefore, in the current context, the issue of developmental dynamics is not divorced from the urban question. Taking an historical-geographical-materialist approach, I seek to examine the political economy of the new urban development in India. I assert that urban-space making and restructuring processes in India are primarily guided by the necessity for unrestrained accumulation on a global scale mainly through dispossession, intensification of the commodification process and redistribution of surpluses. In this regard, the state-at multiple geographical scales-plays a crucial role in the formation and reproduction of the urban spaces. This, however, is a matter of contestation and is largely conditioned by the nature and course of class struggle. I further argue that accumulation by dispossession is crucial to understanding the city-making politics, however, it is not necessarily characterized by extra-economic coercion, as often claimed in the current literature. In fact, the mechanisms and strategies used for attaining accumulation by dispossession are contingent rather than necessary. Further, in the existing literature, the new middle class in India is presented as the main motivating force for the urban-space (re)making politics. It is also seen as the greatest beneficiary of neoliberal urban politics. I contend that the ascendancy of the new Indian middle class is largely a socio-economic construction that is also politically motivated. I argue that middle class politics too is much more contingent in nature than it is generally considered to be. Thus I call for a more nuanced look at the middle class politics based on spatio-temporal specificities. Additionally, this study asserts that the new urban development is not aimed at the betterment of the poor majority, as often gloriously portrayed in the mainstream arena. I demonstrate that the impacts on the poor working class are socio-spatially marginalizing, thus exacerbating the existing uneven (urban) geographies.

This double-volume work focuses on socio-demographics and the use of such data to support strategic resource management and planning initiatives. Papers go beyond explanations of methods, technique and traditional applications to explore new intersections in the dynamic relationship between the utilization and management of resources, and urban development. International authors explore numerous experiences, characteristics of development and decision-making influences from across Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as recounting examples from America and Africa. Papers propound techniques and methods used in geographical research such as support vector machines, socio-economic correlates and travel behaviour analysis. In this volume the contributors examine cutting-edge theories explaining diversity and dynamics in urban development. Topics covered include human vulnerability to hazards, space and urban problematic, assessment and evaluation of regional urban systems and structures and urban transformations as a result of structural change, economic development and underdevelopment. The significance of these topics lie in the pace and volume of change as is happening in geography reflecting continued development within established fields of inquiry and the introduction of significantly new approaches during the last decade. Readers are invited to consider the dynamics of spatial expansion of urban areas and economic development, and to explore conceptual discussion of the innovations in and challenges on urbanization processes, urban spaces themselves and both resource management and environmental management. Together, the two volumes contribute to the interdisciplinary literature on regional resources and urban development by collating recent research with geography at its core. Scholars of urban geography, human geography, urbanism and sustainable development will be particularly interested in this book.

The growth of cities in most of the developing economies is the single largest factor influencing imbalances in economic development. The different urbanization levels reflect different degree of economic development. By 2050, half of India's population is likely to be living in cities and cities estimated contribution to Gross Domestic Product will be 75 percent by 2020. Much needs to be done urgently to transform our cities into livable urban spaces, if our cities are not to crumble further under the weight of teeming millions. In the tide of rapid urbanization in the country, urban development and governance has become a matter of vital importance, in our national economy. To govern Indian growing cities for promoting better quality of life of the people seems to be one of the biggest challenges in the twenty first century. Urban governance has to improve dramatically if our cities are to be revived and readied to absorb new migrants. The present urban governance model is unlikely to help our cities need to be governed differently and that calls for a new political culture of urbanity and citizen friendly administration. Financial and economic future of our urban areas will largely rest on how they are managed. Keeping this in mind, this publication familiarizes the reader, urban managers and economist towards understanding the role of urbanization in national economy and to suggest solutions to the challenges thrown up by this phenomenon. It seeks to describe and analyze problems and the response of the concerned urban management institutions in managing them and attempts to define the guidelines in search of their solutions. The study is divided into six chapters, each dealing with different aspects. After the introduction, second chapter examines various dimensions of urbanizations and its impact. The third chapter examines the interrelationship between urbanization and economic development. In fourth chapter institutional set-up and urban management are discussed in details. Fifth chapter deals with strategies and policy options suggested and finally in the sixth chapter conclusions are reported. The book will be of special interest to the policy makers, researchers, urban managers and development agencies.

The present century is an era of fast growing cities. While the big cities are the centres of brisk trade and voluminous business, they are also becoming the homes for the poorest. Urban poverty makes women the main victims of discrimination and alienation. Women not only encounter the harsh reality of informal-sector jobs, inadequate government services, and poor sanitation, they also face the added threats of sexual violence and insecurity of land and housing rights and facilities. Women in developing countries bear the brunt of often-violent evictions of informal urban settlements and are twice as vulnerable to sexual violence as men. They are also more likely to become infected with HIV/AIDS, especially amidst a global financial crisis that increases economic need and riskier sexual behaviour. At the same time women are also incredibly resilient. They build communities and corporates; they lobby local government for services and take initiative to improve their daily realities even where the state fails. There is an upsurge in their conscious about their rights. They claim women's rights to the city - and in doing so, improve conditions for the most disadvantaged communities of developing nations. It is here that the real urban innovation takes shape. Thus, women in India in general and urban women in particular are at the crossroads of their destiny. Mainstream development discourse now recognises the role of women in development. Therefore, both in governance and development policies and projects there is a new approach to urban growth - urban development with gender equity. This is what MDGs as well as political reforms for higher representation of women visualise. Decentralised democracy needs to be more inclusive too. We feel that 'women in development' and 'development of women' requires their full empowerment. Our paper, therefore, discusses concepts, issues and strategies for a proactive and productive role of women in urban development to overcome overt/covert pressures of work and family and making gender budgeting a powerful tool of empowerment and urban development. In the context of gender dynamics, we also review the policies and schemes for ensuring secure and equal opportunities for women in the urban sector.

This book emphasizes the need for experimenting with more deliberate and rigorous policy processes to attain balanced regional development, which can promote both equity and efficiency in India’s development discourse. The institutional mechanisms for dealing with regional imbalance in India have not been very successful so far. With rising discrepancies in development, demand for autonomy continues along with a new dimension of regionalism arising from submerged identity along with political and economic aspirations, which demanded new channels for solution. So far, attempts to create space for autonomy have possibly not optimally accommodated the conceptual mechanisms like equity and democratic process. Thus democratizing policy process using six pillars of voice: knowledge, objective, fundamental values, implementation framework and public awareness can ensure a better policy outcome for dealing with the persistent challenges of regional disparity in India. This book further focuses on the need for democratizing the policy process for regional development through discussion and inclusion. Such a transition needs innovation in policy regime, which can be attained through following six pillars (i) Democratic voice of stakeholders in policy development and implementation; (ii) Clear policy objectives that advance the common good, based on voice; (iii) Unbiased, sound and comprehensive knowledge and data bases. (iv) Consistency with constitutional values; (v) A sound implementation framework ensuring user-friendliness, transparency and rationality of decision-making processes, effective grievance redress, clear accountability and independent evaluation; (vi) Public awareness and support of policies with relevant and public participation in implementation.
