Produktbeschreibung

Urbanization is giving rise to vibrant and volatile urban India as engine of economic activities that contributes to national economic growth. The urban local self-government (ULSG) is struggling to provide efficient, effective, inclusive and responsive urban services. Most ULSGs are too fragile to perform the mandated functions for enhancing the quality of life and making cities and towns livable.
The book traces evolution of ULSGs, its decline after Independence, and steps taken to strengthen them.
