Integrated City Making is a report by
Philipp Rode,
Julie Wagner,
Richard Brown, Rit Chandra and Jayaraj Sundaresan of the
Urban Age Programme at the London
School of Economics and Political Science. In 2007, Urban Age undertook a
research programme in Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and Bangalore followed by the
Urban
Age India Conference in Mumbai, to understand and assess how these cities are
responding to the challenges of growth, and to compare these approaches to those
adopted in other cities throughout the world.
India’s cities are at the forefront of a global shift to an urban society. Assessing various responses to the challenges of dramatic urban growth, Integrated City Making compares government, planning and transport in four Indian cities to those adopted in London, New York, Berlin and Johannesburg.
