Plotting, Squatting, Public Purpose And Politics: Land Market Development, Low Income Housing and Public Intervention in India (Hardbound - 2003)

About the Book
Since independence in 1947, India has undergone a phase of rapid urbanization. New planning laws have been passed, new organizations established, public policy documents and discussion papers prepared and a host of land and housing schemes have been implemented. Still, however, the vast majority of urban expansion is an unplanned process that takes the form of squatting and illegal or semi-legal land subdivision.
