Abstract: *Shanghai and Mumbai: Sustainability of Development in a Globalizing World* compares the growth trajectories of two major Asian cities within the broader China–India context. It traces Shanghai’s shift from its old urban core to the Pudong New Area under revised land policies, while examining Mumbai’s expansion through Navi Mumbai amid challenges of density, housing, and infrastructure. By analyzing demographics, planning strategies, and governance, the book evaluates how both cities address sustainability in the face of globalization. The study concludes with key lessons on balancing rapid urban growth with social, economic, and environmental sustainability for future megacity development.
