India's informal economy -- Mapping informal labour in India -- Mumbai -- Bangalore -- New Delhi -- Informal labour and resistance.

Summary: During the last two decades, rapid economic growth and development in India has been based upon the mass employment of informal labour. Using case studies from three urban regions, this book examines this growth in modern India’s cities and towns. It argues that India has undergone a process of uneven and combined development during its integration with the world economy, leading to a distorted form of urban development.
