Rövid leírás:
This book explores the city as a series of interconnections between spaces and processes. Combining fieldwork and historical analysis, it examines the city that is produced through overlaps between malls, gated communities, slums, Disney-fied temples, urban bureaucracies, Residents Welfare Associations, slum pradhans, middle-class housewives and bottom of the pyramid' consumers. Through these key aspects, the work looks at Delhi and the National Capital Region as a series of overlapping meanings rather than as an identifiable urban essence.

What makes a city? Rather than a totality, a city is best understood through focusing upon different but interconnected spaces and processes that make for both dynamism and instability in human lives. Hence, the book ranges across a number of sites in order to explore their connections. How do the pleasures of the gated residential enclave encompass the pain of the demolished slum locality? How do localized rituals of suburban life incorporate the symbolic procedures of the nation-state? What processes link contemporary manifestations of consumerism, the middle-classes, and the urban poor? What kind of a city is produced by the relationship between 'illegal' settlements such as 'slums', the traffic in fake documents that seek to stave of slum-demolitions and representatives of the 'legal' city such as Residents Welfare Associations (RWAs)? What can the increasing visibility of RWAs in the quotidian politics of the city tell us about new notions of citizenship and the emergent relationships between middle-classes, the state and the market? And, what is shared between new forms of urban religiosity, the desire for a 'global' city and new consumer cultures? Through these key themes, the book examines the city as a series of overlapping meanings rather than as identifiable urban essence.
Interesting to anyone concerned with the growth of and intricacies in Indian city life and with the more general problem of slum-clearance
