Fragile urban governance: evolution, decline, and empowerment of local self-government in India

See all formats and editions

Urbanization is giving rise to a vibrant and volatile urban India.

The urban local self-government (ULSG) is struggling to provide efficient, effective, inclusive and responsive urban services.

Most ULSGs are too fragile to perform the mandated functions for enhancing the quality of life and making cities and towns livable.

The book traces evolution of ULSGs, its decline after Independence, and steps taken to strengthen them, especially through the big-bang decentralization initiative of 1992 for their empowerment, by enacting the 74th Constitution Amendment Act (74th CAA).
