Summary:This book deals with varied aspects of urban governance in the Indian state of Karnataka in general and its capital, Bengaluru, in particular. Given the growing significance of urbanisation for the economy, polity and society of Karnataka, and India as a whole, the volume's contribution towards understanding various aspects of the phenomenon can hardly be overemphasised. This collection of articles, regarding basic urban services and governance, illuminates the diverse governance questions and policy issues that interest all those who are passionate about changing the urban landscape of Bengal.
