Changing paradigms of urbanisation : India and beyond / Om Prakash Mathur.

Between 2022 and 2047, India will transit from a lower-middle to an upper-middle urban economy. What strategic policy shifts will be necessary to ensure that this transition plays out productively is a major question that the author addresses in the opening paper.
This book—a collection of 20 papers authored by Om Prakash Mathur, a leading urban scholar, serves as a repository of insights into global and Indian urbanisation. It explores how it unfolds and establishes linkages with macroeconomic parameters.
Supported by rigorous research and analytical frameworks, the book is an indispensable resource for academics, policy-makers and researchers.
