Sanjay Srivastava

Entangled Urbanism

Slum, Gated Community and Shopping Mall in Delhi and Gurgaon

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
