More About This Textbook

Overview

By looking in detail at two rapidly growing cities in Andhra Pradesh (Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam) this book explores cultural, physical-spatial, political and economic determinants of the allocation of urban land and of urban growth in India in historical context. It focuses on the interplay between the government, i.e. the law, programmes, policies and the organizations in charge of their implementation, on the one hand, and the private sector on the other. Special attention is given to the housing and living conditions of the urban poor, with the changes in their socio-economic conditions, as well as those affecting the quantity and quality of land and housing options available to them. In doing so, the book describes and analyzes basic issues and problems of governance in relation to urban land delivery. It traces these back to their historical origins and subsequent articulation.
