Reseña del libro "India's Greenfield Urban Future: The Politics of Land Planning and Infrastructure (en Inglés)"
City-building has been an enduring idiom of politics in India. Iconic capital cities such as Jaipur, Kolkata and Chandigarh, among others, have their origins in state initiatives, from precolonial times to the present.In contemporary India, the impetus behind new cities has been reworked by the prominence of private real estate actors. One compelling and emblematic image of millennial urban transformation is the high-rise gated community. Promising high-quality infrastructure and 'amenities', aspirational lifestyles and sanitised vistas of work and leisure, these housing developments signal a decisive break from older ways of living in the Indian city. This discontinuity is also apparent in the geographic location of these enclaves, which are largely a feature of the peri-urban and 'greenfield' frontier areas--the Gurgaons and Greater Noidas, Navi Mumbais, Rajarhats, Whitefields and Cyberabads, Lavasas and Sri Citys.Shaped by real-estate dynamics and policy-promoted growth agendas, especially around high-end services sector, greenfield urban development has brought with it economic and structural change. India's Greenfield Urban Future explores this 'urban frontier' and the constellations of public-private interests underpinning it through ten essays by urban scholars who have remained deeply implicated in their respective field sites while engaging in debates within global urban studies.
