Biswas  aNew Delhib: SAGE Publications India Pvt Ltd.c, 2015.  axx, 257 p.c; 24 cm.  aAssorted City makes an important contribution to urban planning discourses in India by offering an in-depth conceptual and theoretical insight to address theory–practice dichotomy. A unique work on urban services delivery in an Indian city, it narrates how equity and justice are manipulated in the process. It captures generic urban processes in three ways: the questions it raises about planning, the multifaceted methodological perspective it introduces, and the commitment it underlines toward social justice and equity in a democracy. 

This book explores and exposes the interplay between urban existence and the politics of service delivery.  aUrban policy -- India City planning -- India  aMunicipal services -- India
