Product Description

This Volume brings together voices that offer a kaleidoscopic view of the morphing, knotted city even as it is simultaneously experienced. Fourteen full-and part-time residents of Delhi, ranging from urban planners to informant-sector workers, write about issues as urgent and diverse as pubic transport, the state of the yamuna, women and the megacity, housing rights for the poor, recycling and recyclersm shopping malls and the officially sanctioned campaign against street vendors and the homeless ahead of the 2010 commonwealth games. Finding Delhi is an unprecedented chronicling of contemporary Delhi- the nature of its reinvention and the effects of this personality shift on those who experience it. It is an examination relevant to all urban spaces being re-engineered on the road to ‘world –classness’.
