Urban Policies and the Right to the City in India Rights, Responsibilities and Citizenship
A new urban framework is clearly emerging in India, where, by 2050, the urban population will represent more than half of the entire population of the country, around 54.2 percent, constituting more than 875 million people, for whom the right to the city could represent a powerful tool for better addressing the inherent challenges of such a radical social transformation.
By collecting the richness of sixteen original research papers, this publication highlights the relevance in India and the multiplicity of entry points of the right to the city as a vehicle for social inclusion and sustainable social development for Indian cities.
This publication, a result of the efforts of UNESCO, was funded and supported by the Urban Poverty and Livelihoods portfolio of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and the Allied Trusts.
