Abstract: Volume 1: “Housing in India: Aspirations, Imaginaries and Realities” presents a holistic timeline of the development of housing keeping in mind the political and economic ethos of the country through the decades. Prefaced by a comprehensive timeline of housing in India, some of the key writings in this volume explore the housing crisis as the result of growing urbanisation; question the very notion of ‘housing’ and its myriad meanings; debate the role of the State and its efficiency in providing housing; try to make an argument for inclusive housing, not just in terms of housing beneficiaries, but also in terms of inclusive disciplines that define housing policies.
