Recently declared the world's second most populous city, the rapid expansion of Delhi in recent years has presented considerable challenges in shaping and developing the city's built environment. This book charts the political, economic and social forces that drove development in India generally and in Delhi in particular, in order to investigate the particular features and constituents that make up the city's urban landscape. The book goes on to suggest strategies for building up a sustainable urban environment in Delhi which can be applied in other existing and emerging urban centres.

The strengths and weaknesses of Delhi's governance models are critically analysed, with consideration to the role of market, finance and policy over time. As well as looking at city-wide design and construction trends, the book also considers how individuals interact with their built environment and negotiate the real estate market. This book not only provides valuable insight into the physical evolution of Delhi and its surrounds, but it also explores how Delhi's pattern of growth compares to other cities worldwide, asking broader questions about how people interact with urban environments.
