A rare piece&nbsp;of research&nbsp;on the game&nbsp;of urban&nbsp;services&nbsp;delivery in&nbsp;an Indian&nbsp;metropolis.<br /> </strong><br /> Assorted City</strong> makes an important&nbsp;contribution to urban planning&nbsp;discourses in India by offering an&nbsp;in-depth conceptual and theoretical&nbsp;insight to address theory&ndash;practice&nbsp;dichotomy. A unique work on urban&nbsp;services delivery in an Indian city,&nbsp;it narrates how equity and justice&nbsp;are manipulated in the process. It&nbsp;captures generic urban processes&nbsp;in three ways: the questions it raises&nbsp;about planning, the multifaceted&nbsp;methodological perspective it&nbsp;introduces, and the commitment it&nbsp;underlines toward social justice and&nbsp;equity in a democracy.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> This book explores and exposes the&nbsp;interplay between urban existence&nbsp;and the politics of service delivery.<br /> <br />
