One of the greatest challenges that India faces in the 21st
century is the governance of its cities. Primarily a rural
nation thus far,
India will be increasingly urban in the
coming years and decades.
h
Cities are, moreover, widely
viewed as sites of innovation, opportunity, and growth. They
are also sites of inequality and exclusion and Indian cities
have struggled to provide basic services and public goods to
its urban cities.
This conference on Urban Transformation in India proposes to
examine these issues by bringing leading scholars of urban
India together to present their research.
Representing a
wide range of disciplines, participants will present their
latest work in panels on governance, inequality, urban
policies, urban economics and urban services.
All the panels included discussants and are designed to
foster extended feedback and discussion.
The conference WAS open to the public.
This conference is supported with generous funding from
The Giving Back Foundation. |
