Summary, etc. A monumental work that shows how economic vitality can go hand-in-hand with creating vibrant<br/>cities offering a haven for cultural and intellectual expression.<br/>For most urban Indians, the past few years have been unsettling—we have seen neighbourhoods<br/>locked down for months during a pandemic, increasing the daily challenges of earning a living as<br/>well as of access to good healthcare and education. Inflation has ravaged the land with spiralling<br/>prices of food, rent and transport. Our cities are hard to live in; lacking basic amenities, while being<br/>unaesthetic and discordant with our civilization.<br/>As economic growth takes priority, questions about liveability and meaningful employment arise,<br/>along with concerns about the deteriorating law and order. In blindly and poorly aping Western<br/>models, our cities homogenize, losing their character, their identity and their soul. Meanwhile,<br/>climate change is no longer a mythical or distant possibility but a distinct and immediate reality.<br/>A typical city must now cope with extreme temperatures, both flooding and water shortages and<br/>abysmal air quality. These can no longer be treated as threats but as certainties to be planned for.<br/><br/>The Indian Metropolis seeks to begin a national conversation on these issues and suggests ways to<br/>turn our cities into enabling, energizing environments geared towards enhancing the daily life of<br/>the average city dweller.<br/><br/>(https://rupapublications.co.in/books/the-indian-metropolis-deconstructing-indias-urban-spaces/)
