Summary: The present volume is a collection of essays written by some of the well-known geographers, architects, planners and social scientists from India and abroad who present their own perspective on the nature of the fringe. It acquaints the reader with the historic development of suburban areas and the manifestations of the present urban expansion. The book explores the rural? urban dichotomy, the fast-paced welcome and unwelcome changes, the problems of its development, and an overall impact of urban expansion on the economic life of the people. It evaluates the role of urban planning and the shortcomings that creep in during the period of plan implementation, following invariable interference from politicians and land speculators. The book would be a useful reading for students of urbanism and all others who are interested in India?s urban future. (http://www.rawatbooks.com/book_more_detail.aspx?id=584)
