Urban Planning and Governance a New Paradigm

The emerging thinking in planning and development of urban land, space, localities and infrastructure with a focus on maintaining the ecological balance have been distilled in the book alongwith suggestions and prescriptions relating to the required changes in policies and approaches.

The book also dis-cusses the issues of cost and finance management in the context of urban development, besides identifying the constraints and challenges.

Indian experiences have been widely reflected in the text through examples and illustrations from some of its mega cities.

The text is appended with a set of annexures which serve as ready reference to policies and guidelines concerning urban planning in India.
