<div><b>Abstract from the distributor:</b></div>
</div>
‘No urbanism without urbanists’ might be a slogan that captures the European and North American urban experience over the past two centuries. Indeed, it is arguable that urbanism is not only an empirical description of material cultures of cities but is also a creative act of the inscriptions on the cities by writers themselves – from Ruskin, Baudelaire, and Geddes to Benjamin, Mumford and Hall, and from the Chicago School to Jacobs, Sennett and Davis. But where, when and who are the Asian urbanists? And is this question too late in an era of globalised megacities? Can we still write the city? Are they not too big, fast, splintered and complex to be encapsulated textually in their totality? Are we witnessing instead in the Asian-Pacific Century, urbanisms without urbanists?<br />
<br />
This paper looks at four contemporary urbanists and their writings on two key megacities of India – New Delhi and Mumbai, two megacities whose forms and lives are crucial to the next phase of India’s emergence as a global power. They are difficult cities in every sense – complex, explosive, dangerous, fluid and creative - and therefore ideal sites for understanding 21st century forms of urbanisms. Here I choose writers who are outsiders to the cities they write about: they are migrants and expatriates, but who also work from the margins of the social sciences of the academy. I attend to their authorship and their social and institutional settings; this in turn invites reflection on readerships, but more importantly about the types of authorship available to, and developed by, urbanists over the past two hundred years. The paper shifts to the texts themselves and reflects about forms of writing (genre, style, and rhetoric) as much as to what they have come to say about their cities. The paper concludes with some reflections on their arguments for a critical understanding of the contemporary South Asia mega-city by suggesting that indeed there is no urbanism without urbanists and this is so in Asian cities of the 21st century no less.</div>

<div><b>Organisers' description :</b></div> </div> The scholarship with regard to the process of urbanization in the context of globalization has been dominated by the "global cities" paradigm in which Saskia Sassen outlines the increasing centrality of cities as they become "command centers" in the expansion of global capitalism, destabilizing the older networks of governance that are embodied in the nation-state. As a result, much of the theorization on urbanization in the recent past has been focused on cities in the developed regions of the world such as New York, London and Tokyo that serve as the material and symbolic sites for global economic production. The cities of the developing countries therefore remain marginal to this theorization of the urban, either defined by the lack of full-scale globalization, or through processes that mimic the developments in the core, or as sites of increasing chaos, poverty and inequality.<br /> <br /> This panel discussion brings together a diverse group of PhD students at UIC, from the fields of urban planning and design, criminal justice and public administration, conducting research in the cities of the global south. While their approaches might vary, they are all engaged in contributing to the production of knowledge on newly emerging global urban agglomerations and the concurrent shifts in the political economy, particularly urban governance. This reflects a demographic transformation of historical proportions wherein the majority of the world's urban dwellers will be in cities of the developing countries. Two-thirds of the world's urban population growth will be occurring in the cities of the developing regions of the world, bringing about rapid uneven distribution of incomes, the proliferation of slum cities, rising demand for urban infrastructure and investment -– physical and social. The discussants will debate some of the emerging contradictions and tensions faced by the cities of the global south and locate areas of further research. The thrust will be on the possibilities of constructing alternative theories of understanding this massive urban change.<br /> <br /> Ratoola Kundu will be presenting on the transformations that take place at the urban fringes and the practices of informality that shape it and are in turn regulated by the policies of the local government as well as global flows of economic investment, using the case of the fringes of Kolkata in India as an illustration.<br /> <br /> Kamna Lal will be investigating semi-formal institutional arrangement for delivery of urban environmental services in an Indian city and drawing out the changes in the relationship between political economy and the ecology of the city in a liberalizing environment.<br /> <br /> Meng Sun’s presentation is on the possible material and social impacts of the Olympic 2008 summer games on the city of Beijing and the significance of "event" or spectacle driven development of urban centers.<br /> <br /> Lan Wang will be dealing with the emergence of new global urban planning and design practices that are being rapidly transplanted into the New Towns of China's urban regions and the kinds of political, economic, socio-cultural changes that drive and are in turn shaped by these design practices of producing "global cities".<br /> <br /> Barry Weisberg will be presenting on the need to reformulate an understanding of what constitutes safety and security with respect to urban populations and infrastructure of the mega cities in developing countries, focusing on Shanghai.</div> </div> <b>Ratoola Kundu, Kamna Lal, Meng Sun, Lan Wang </b>and <b>Barry Weisberg</b> are PhD students at the University of Illinois at Chicago.</div> <b>David C.

</div>
“State, Space and Citizenship” is the title of a year of thematic programming on key issues confronting Indian cities, beginning in January 2009. This is sponsored by the Center for South Asian Studies at the University of Michigan as a part of the Trehan India Initiative.<br />
<br />
The United Nations estimates that India’s urban population will nearly double to reach 586 million by 2030. This urbanization is taking place as the country grapples with the dramatic challenges and promises presented by economic liberalization and exposure to global flows of people, ideas, finance, investment, and media.<br />
<br />
The first Trehan India Initiative Theme Year at the University of Michigan will address how urbanization is transforming contemporary India socially, economically, politically, culturally, and environmentally. It will focus on three closely related areas of investigation:<br />
<br />
1. Transformations in urban politics and the role of the state in urban development<br />
2. Changes in the production of urban space<br />
3. Issues of citizenship and politics in the urban realm.</div>

This Theme Year, entitled “State, Space and Citizenship: Indian Cities in the Global Era,” takes urbanization to be one of the defining elements of change in contemporary India. <br /> <br /> Offering a ‘historical turn’ to the issues raised by the Theme Year, this interdisciplinary graduate student conference centers on the question of how the past is regularly—or irregularly—bounded, contested and re-framed in the dynamic discourses of urban planning, development and citizenship in India. What are the various avatars assumed by ‘the past’ in the context of contemporary urbanization (e.g. tradition, heritage, the authentic indigenous, nostalgia, official histories, subaltern interpretations)? What is the role of the past in urban planning and development agendas, claims to citizenship and space, and the changing discourses of the state? How is the past encountered, designed, or interpreted as material, discursive, and/or symbolic?</div> </div> <b>Ravi Sundaram </b>is a Fellow of the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) and a Visiting Faculty member at the Department of Urban Design, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi.</div> </div> </div>

<div><b>Abstract from the distributor :</b></div>
</div>
What dynamics contribute to emergence of social tensions and conflicts in an urban environment? Mass mobilisations and episodes of collective violence have been a constant element in the development of large Indian cities over the twentieth century, and the emergence of a deep fracture between the Hindu and the Muslim community has informed social, political and cultural transformations in post-colonial urban environments. Taking Ahmedabad city (north-western India) as a case study, this paper analyses the explosion of collective violence as part of long-term dynamics of urban transformation. Group tensions can be seen as the expression of social, economic and spatial inequalities that consolidated unbalanced patterns of urban territorial and demographic growth. At the same time, the management of urban growth at a political level contributed to the construction of an urban geography where social differences are inscribed in the organisation of the space. In this context, episodes of collective violence have two dimensions: on one side, they can be read as moments when the many instances of inequality find expression in open confrontations at a street level; on the other, violence leaves deep marks in the city’s social and physical landscape and, in this sense, it is an integral element in the process of urban construction and organisation over time.</div>

<br />
In India, Urban Age examined how the largest democracy on earth negotiates considerable urbanisation and economic development. India’s urban society is experiencing the effects of increasing affluence coupled with persistent social inequalities and a scarcity of resources ranging from personal living space to transport and drinking water. Climate change and other escalating pressures further compound urban developments in India, making its urban agenda a global issue. Evaluating policy and project specific effects, the Urban Age India Conference helped draw the links between events and developments in India’s urbanised areas with trends worldwide, widening the lens from the local to the global.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the publisher:</b></div>
</div>
Muslims constitute the largest minority in India yet, surprisingly, they suffer the most politically and socioeconomically. Forced to contend with severe and persistent prejudice, they often fall victim to violence and collective acts of murder. While the quality of Muslim life may lag behind that of Hindus nationally, local, inclusive cultures have been resilient in the south and the east. In the Hindi belt and in the north, Muslims have known less peace, especially in the riot-prone areas of Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Jaipur, and Aligarh, and in the capitals of former Muslim states–Delhi, Hyderabad, Bhopal, and Lucknow. These cities are rife with Muslim ghettos and slums, though self-segregation has also played a part in forming Muslim enclaves, as in Delhi and Aligarh, where traditional elites and the new Muslim middle class regrouped for physical and cultural protection. This book deploys a quantitative methodology combining firsthand testimony with sound critical analysis.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
Presenting an original take on women’s safety in the cities of twenty-first century India, Why Loiter? maps the exclusions and negotiations that women from different classes and communities encounter in the nation’s urban public spaces.<br />
<br />
Basing this book on more than three years of research in Mumbai, Shilpa Phadke, Sameera Khan and Shilpa Ranade argue that though women’s access to urban public space has increased, they still do not have an equal claim to public space in the city. And they raise the question: can women’s access to public space be viewed in isolation from that of other marginal groups? <br />
<br />
Going beyond the problem of the real and implied risks associated with women’s presence in public, they draw from feminist theory to argue that only by celebrating loitering—a radical act for most Indian women—can a truly equal, global city be created.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div> </div> In the 20th century, Ahmedabad was India's "shock city." It was the place where many of the nation's most important developments occurred first and with the greatest intensity—from Gandhi’s political and labor organizing, through the growth of textile, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, to globalization and the sectarian violence that marked the turn of the new century. Events that happened there resonated throughout the country, for better and for worse. Howard Spodek describes the movements that swept the city, telling their story through the careers of the men and women who led them.</div> </div> <b>Howard Spodek </b>is Professor of History at Temple University.</div> </div>

An account of the resource
<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div> </div> In Imagining the Urban, Shonaleeka Kaul turns to Sanskrit literature to discover the characteristics—both physical and social—of ancient Indian cities. Kaul examines nearly a thousand years of Sanskrit ka¯vyas to see what India’s early historic cities were like as living, lived-in entities, and discovers that they were vibrant and teeming with variety and life.<br /> <br /> As much about Sanskrit literature as about urban spaces — insofar as that literature reveals significant aspects of the Indian urban past — Imagining the Urban shows that Sanskrit literature is a rich source for historical understanding. Advocating the ka¯vyas as an important historical source, Kaul provides a fresh view of the early city and shows distinctive ways of thought and behaviour that relate to tradition, morality and authority.<br /> <br /> With its provocative new questions about early Indian cities and ancient Indian texts, this book will be an essential read for scholars of urban history, Sanskrit writings and South Asian antiquity.</div> </div> <b>Shonaleeka Kaul</b> teaches in the Department of History, University of Delhi.</div> </div>

Description
An account of the resource
<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div> </div> Globalisation and a neo-liberal world order are impacting the global urban system, resulting in massive transformation of cities across the world. This transformation, which is currently the centre of focus among sociologists, will continue as more and more city spaces are occupied in the wake of globalization.<br /> <br /> This book is a collection of essays written by some of the most famous theoreticians and academics in the area of urban studies on this transformation process of cities and its socio-economic ramifications.<br /> <br /> These essays analyse the signs of intense spatial crisis in metropolises, revealing the contradictory processes of integration and segmentation that characterise the critical nature of global city space. Crisis of urban space in such cities, the book argues, is essentially related to their placement in the world city system and the limitations in their globalocal networks. Restructuring spaces also leads to differentiated and contradictory processes, the book reveals, since not all segments of the population are affected equally.The process benefits only parts of society and, therefore, only parts of the city space. This book shows how Centre and Periphery, reflect the differentiation between global society and segmented localities, how these stand spatially anchored, creating a background of intense urban conflicts.<br /> <br /> This volume explores and exposes a divided framework in which globalisation operates towards fragmentation and polarization; debunking the myth of homogenisation. The essays reveal that cities and regions across the world get incorporated into this system, exhibiting characteristics that are more diverse and complex than ever before especially due to the increasingly contradictory relationship with their local resource and cultural base.</div> </div> <b>Contents : </b></div> </div> Introduction: Transformative Cities in the New Global Order - Swapna Banerjee-Guha<br /> The Right to the City: From Capital Surplus to Accumulation by Dispossession - David Harvey<br /> The Global City: Strategic Site, New Frontier - Saskia Sassen<br /> Manufacturing Neoliberalism: Lifestyling Indian Urbanity - Solomon Benjamin<br /> Global Capital, Neo-Liberal Politics and Terrains of Resistance in Vienna - Heinz Nissel<br /> Globalisation and Transformation of Dhaka City - Nazrul Islam and Salma A Shafi<br /> 'Hi-Tech' Hyderabad and the Urban Poor: Reformed out of the System - Umesh Varma<br /> Reconfiguring Power Relationships: Policies towards Urban Services in Mumbai - Marie-Helene Zerah<br /> Urban Transport Projects in a Globalised Scenario - Darryl D'Monte<br /> Urban Public Space and the Urban Poor - Sharit Bhowmik<br /> Revisiting Accumulation by Dispossession: Neoliberalising Mumbai - Swapna Banerjee-Guha</div> </div> <b>Swapna Banerjee-Guha</b> is Professor of Development Studies, Tata Institute of Social Sciences</div> </div>

In 2007, Urban Age undertook a research programme in Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and Bangalore followed by the Urban Age India Conference in Mumbai, to understand and assess how these cities are responding to the challenges of growth, and to compare these approaches to those adopted in other cities throughout the world.<br /> <br /> India's cities are at the forefront of a global shift to an urban society. Assessing various responses to the challenges of dramatic urban growth, Integrated City Making compares government, planning and transport in four Indian cities to those adopted in London, New York, Berlin and Johannesburg.<br /> <br /> The four Indian cities have a population of 35 million people (78 million including wider metropolitan regions and Delhi's National Capital Region), and an economy valued at $360 billion within their agglomerations.</div> </div> <b>Contents:</b></div> </div> 1.

<b>Extract from the introduction by Chris Johnson : </b></div>
</div>
The bustle and chaos associated with Indian cities encompasses only 27% of the country's population. The other 73% of India's population still live in rural areas and villages spread across the countryside - yet across the world, half the population now live in cities.</div>
</div>
Chetan Vaidya, the director of the Indian National Institute of Urban Affairs (NUIA) believes that India's urban population, currently around 285 million people, is likely to become twice this by 2030, indicating how important the urbanisation of India will be in coming years. Cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore are likely to continue growing while many smaller towns will become cities in their own right.</div>
</div>
This book traces Indian urbanity from the macro level of the statistics of population growth right down to the provision of an individual water tap in a low income settlement.</div>

<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
Although it has often been taken as a general definition of the city and urban culture (whence the commonsense notion that cities must fulfill commercial functions), Pirenne's fomulation was deficient because only the European medieval city and its burgher culture were taken as typical of the "true" city. Max Weber in <i>The City </i>(1921) provided another definition of the city, similar to Pirenne's, when he contrasted "Occidental" with "Oriental" urbanism. According to Weber, five attributes define an urban community : it must possess (1) a fortification, (2) a market, (3) a law code and court system of its own, (4) an association of urban citizenry creating a sense of municipal corporateness, and (5) sufficient political autonomy for urban citizens to choose the city's governors.</div>
</div>
Studying the cultural roles of cities must include not only the cultural beliefs and practices that emanate from cities but also the cultural forms that develop within the city as a result of the impact of the urban culture on it. In this way scholarship can bring forward a cross-culturally and historically valid conception of cities, their cultural forms, and the urban cultures in which they are set.</div>
</div>
As a country develops from primarily an agricultural to an industrial economy, large scale migration of rural residents to towns ans cities takes place. During this process, the growth rate of urban areas is typically double the pace of overall population increase. Some 29 per cent of the world population was living in urban areas in 1950; this figure was 43 per cent in 1990, and is projected to rise to about 50 per cent by the year 2000. In this book, an attempt has been made to discuss urban development, its concepts and historical development. Thus we hope that it will be an immensely important edition for all those concerned with the discipline.</div>

<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
The second issue of Footprint aims at reuniting two themes which are receiving a great deal of attention in recent times: Asia’s extraordinary urban growth, and the problematique of mapping highly complex urban environments. The 21st century, forecasted by many as the ‘Pacific Century’, brings to the fore the region's economic, social, political and cultural changes, wide-ranging in their manifestation and far-reaching in their consequence. All of these factors are inscribed in the urban environment. In a region where a population of one million constitutes a small settlement and mega-cities such as Tokyo and Shanghai have come to dominate the global network, sheer size is itself an important issue and not just in practical terms. Then there is the apparent chaos that is actually a delicately balanced autopoeisis in cities such as Mumbai, as well as the interesting and potentially useful city-state model of Hong Kong. These conditions and rising phenomena bring important questions on the potentials and relevance of mapping to the fore.</div>
<br />
The nine contributors to this issue take these questions as their point of departure, and set out to explore some of the region’s most important or complex cities. Urban China is covered by Ruan’s interesting overview of this country’s frenzied economic boom, which he claims is ephemeral; Visser’s attempt to map Beijing –‘ the ungovernable city’ - poses timely critical questions; Qiang’s analysis of the evolution of Beijing’s movement network and the effects it has on urban function; Arkaraprasertkul’s investigation of Shanghai’s Pudong, as well as its older lilong; Karandinou & Koutsoumpos’ thought-provoking and beautifully rendered mapping project of Shanghai’s ‘other’ river, the Suzhou; Bhatia’s examination of Shanghai’s transforming housing typologies; Solomon’s investigation of the development of Hong Kong, particularly Victoria Harbour. Moving further east, Tokyo’s complexity is explored in Lucas’s short paper with a series of architectural drawings and movement notations exposing the act of inscription as a method of urban enquiry. And finally, Shannon’s informative and thorough mapping exercise of cities and landscapes in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.</div>
