- Synopsis
- Urban India stands at an interesting moment in history—at the cusp of massive changes and cautious choices. This book maps the new challenges and subsequent choices that emerge as India transitions into more urbanized situations, both spatially and culturally—to cleaner and renewable energy, integrating these new norms into the built environment, providing affordable and accessible physical and social infrastructure to all citizens, addressing the disproportionate climate risks of vulnerable communities, responding to the forces of globalization, conserving our heritage assets, deploying smart technologies for better city governance, designing for all, integrating hard and soft city dimensions for better policy outcomes and greater environmental and social impacts. It underlines and explores the nuances of urban design and urban planning, as well as how they are inextricably enmeshed with sustainability and climate action.The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of urban studies, sociology, South Asian Studies, built environment, sustainability and climate studies, urban design and urban planning.
