Summary: In Kerala, it is difficult to distinguish cities, towns, and villages. From Thiruvananthapuram in the south to Kannur in the north, it is one suburban stretch, at times village-like, at times city-like. As much as 75 per cent of Keralites continue to reside in villages which are fast becoming urban. This book depicts present-day life in nine major cities and towns of Kerala through essays, specially taken photographs, and sketches. Most of the writers are Keralites and have brought out the very urban, semi-urban, semi-rural mix that is as much a part of the Kerala landscape as its coastline, forests, and plantations. http://www.marg-art.org/p/627/cities-of-kerala-actually-small-towns
