Description
From the introduction :
Metropolitan cities grow beyond imaginable proportions, particularly in the developing world. Urban issues therefore warrant - and receive - increasing attention. The national capital of India, Delhi, is a city where indisputable economic progress related to urbanisation is accompanied by tremendous environmental concerns, congestion, poverty, and housing shortages. This thesis focuses on the rural-urban fringe, which is the ultimate 'battlefield' of the environmental and socio-economic change brought about by urbanisation. The population of urbanising villages is confronted with new problems and possibilities regarding their livelihood and living conditions.
