Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In a world of disruptions and seemingly endless complexity, cities have become central to thinking about the future of humanity. Yet the study of cities is fragmented among different silos of expertise, diverse genres of scholarship, and widening chasms between theory and practice. How can we do better? Cities Rethought suggests that we need to remake the way we see and know cities in order to rethink how we act and intervene within them. To this end, it offers the contours of a new urban disposition. Its normative, analytical, and operational elements offer an opportunity for scholars, practitioners, and citizens alike to approach the complexity of cities anew. Written collectively for a wide audience, the text draws from cities across the global north and south, speaks across diverse genres of ideas, and reflects on the lived experience of the authors as both researchers and practitioners. It is an essential text for anyone committed to knowing their own cities as well as finding ways to meaningfully intervene in them. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. A MULTIDIMENSIONAL STUDY OF CITIES MEANT FOR A WIDE AUDIENCE, CITIES RETHOUGHT HAS RECEIVED MUCH PRAISE EVEN BEFORE ITS RELEASE. In a world of disruptions and seemingly endless complexity, cities have becomeperhaps more than evercentral to thinking about the future of humanity. Yet rarely has the study of cities been more fragmented among different silos of expertise, diverse genres of scholarship, and widening chasms between theory and practice. How can we do better?

Written collectively for a wide audience, the book draws from cities across the global north and south, speaks across diverse genres of ideas, and reflects on the lived experience of the authors as both researchers and practitioners. It is an essential read for anyone committed to knowing their own cities as well as finding ways to meaningfully intervene in them.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Introduction: How did we get here? 1. Planned Illegalities: the production of housing in Delhi, 1947-2010. 2. Planned development and/as crisis: evictions and the politics of governance in contemporary Delhi. 3. Unmaking citizens: spatial illegality, urban citizenship and the challenges for inclusive politics. 4. You can t just walk into a Court : notes on the judicialisation of resistance. Concluding Provocations: Inquiries from the South. References. Index. Like many cities in the global South, New Delhi has not been built by architects, engineers or planners, but by residents themselves. One form of such auto-construction is the basti-an urban settlement that houses income-poor residents. A basti marks years of an urban life, built slowly and incrementally. It is more than a slum - it is a claim to development and citizenship. In the moment of the basti s eviction, this claim is erased, signifying a closure for the political, legal, social and economic negotiations that allowed a vulnerable citizenry to settle and survive for decades. Contemporary Delhi is a city scarred by the evictions of bastis. Ironically, many of these evictions were ordered in Public Interest Litigations by the Indian Judiciary. How did a judicial innovation introduced precisely to enable the marginalised to seek justice become an instrument of their exclusion? Drawing on an archive of court cases that resulted in evictions in Delhi from 1990 to 2007 as well as ethnographic research with basti residents and social movements resisting eviction, In the Public s Interest shows how evictions have been fundamental to how urban space is been structured and produced, and asks what they tell us about the contemporary Indian city. …
