Synopsis

The Making of Vibrant Cities is a collection of ideas on urban themes straddling urban governance, finance,and use and planning, transportation, sustainability and climate change, etc. in an effort to bring together the thinking of various experts on meeting with the challenges of urbanization. Drawing contributions from an eminent group of people, this book is the first-of-its-kind in India, as it brings together former policymakers, practitioners, experts and academics to share their perspectives on various urban issues, given the interdisciplinary nature of the challenges facing them. The book provides comparative perspectives and constructive ideas needed to transform urban India, and improve the quality ofife for more than 377 million urban dwellers. Comprising observations from renowned international authors who have studied various BRICS nations closely, drawing parallels on the development of various cities scattered across these countries, this volume brings to focus the similarity of issues faced by them even though in varying magnitudes. This similarity manifests itself in the quality ofife congestion and insufficient urban transport infrastructure, pollution, slums, dilapidated buildings, intermittent water supply, potted roads,ittered streets, uneven pavements andack of open spaces. The Making of Vibrant Cities serves as an ideas handbook for various stakeholders and helps steer policy research, design and implementation efforts related to urban development across the BRICS nations.
