Abstract: Published in 1999, this volume explores India’s rapid urban growth, focusing on Bombay and the development of New Bombay—India’s most ambitious post-Independence urban planning initiative. The New Bombay model, noted for its planning and financing strategies, is seen as a success and is being replicated across other Indian cities. The book offers the first independent evaluation of New Bombay, placing it within the broader context of urban development in the Third World. It examines not only the city’s physical and economic expansion but also the social implications, particularly for the urban poor affected by such large-scale planning strategies.
