About the book * Based on his experiences teaching, researching and practicing in India, the author discusses some of the problems related to the URBAN transition of India. He proposes a number of possible solutions, as the use of plants and natural ventilation, the revitalization of an existing system of water canals, the creation of vertical kitchen gardens in a rehabilitation colony, a strategy for making an entire neighborhood car-free and a design for self-designed, low-cost housing. ******Reviews***** "I very much enjoyed the range of issues touched upon and based on first hand experiences! The fine grain reading of issues in the Indian city is an important contribution so is the attempt to connect so many dots to make sense of the moving targets we encounter in Urbanism in India." Rahul Mehrotra, Architect, Professor and Chair of Urban Planning and Design, Harvard University, July 2014 " ******[T]he book contextualises city making as a complex highly political process and contends that it is the Indian city that can truly be the landscape on which the idea of India, with its diversity, flourishes. The author's use of humour and his complete honesty while describing the struggles of Indian cities with development urbanism is worthy of appreciation."
