Combining authoritative analysis, new ideas, and diverse perspectives, they discuss subjects which are topical yet enduring, as also emerging areas of study and debate. Capturing the immense importance of India's cities to its economy, polity, and society, this short introduction provides nuanced yet accessible analyses of the evolution and complex socio-economic base of Indian cities, especially in the post-liberalization era. Delving into issues of class divide, identity, migration, and the changing landscapes and social milieu of Indian cities, it charts the future of Indian cities and provides roadmaps to enhancing the quality of life in urban India. Drawing upon the interdisciplinarity of urban studies and cutting-edge research on Indian cities, this book will prove to be a valuable resource for students, scholars, and policymakers as well as general readers looking for a concise overview of urban life in India."--Publisher's website. 650 0 $a Cities and towns $z India $x Growth. 650 0 $a Urbanization $z India. 650 7 $a Stadt. $2 gnd 650 7 $a VerstaÌdterung. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Wirtschaft. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Soziale Situation. $2 gnd 651 7 $a Indien. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Cities and towns $x Growth. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861781 650 7 $a Urbanization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162722 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 830 0 $a Oxford India short introductions. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019021644.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB5296F6D4E311E3810EC6B1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
