Additional text

’...compelling and authoritatively researched case studies such as this one add richness and detail to the broad generalizations about new town development experience...Few books can completely unravel all the intricacies and issues of plan implementation. This book brings the reader some way and helps us to understand a good deal about new town development in India.’ Urban Studies ’This book is an important book for third world urban planners.

There are numerous lessons to be learned from this experience...’ Habitat International
