系列：城市与城市的必要性
孟买是一个典型的城市表达，它代表了与印度城市化有关的问题和困惑。这本书追溯了多数派主义和新自由主义资本主义积累重组印度孟买的各种方式。
这本书评估了孟买目前的发展轨迹和进程，并将其嵌入最近的过去。它通过探索工作和劳动来看待这些变化；卫生和教育；空间规划和基础设施发展；政治和身份；并展示了金融化、土地投机、放松管制和非正式是如何影响这座城市的文化和日常生活的。本书的撰稿人分析了这些变化对不同年龄段的女性和男性在物质和文化生活中的影响；评估工作性质、城市基础设施和规划的变化所起的作用；确定公共卫生和教育的结果；并衡量其在艺术和文化领域的表现。本书探讨了重新定位这些变化的过程，这些变化对城市居民的社会空间和政治影响，以及对边缘化的抵制和回应。
这本跨学科的书将引起经济学、社会学、人类学、政治学、公共政策、发展研究和城市研究的学生和研究人员的兴趣。它对城市从业者、规划师、官僚、活动人士和普通读者也很有用。
Mumbai / Bombay: Majoritarian Neoliberalism, Informality, Resistance, and Wellbeing
Series: Cities and the Urban Imperative
Mumbai / Bombay is a quintessential urban expression which represents the questions and puzzles related to Indian urbanity. This book traces the various ways through which majoritarianism and neoliberal capitalist accumulation has reorganised Bombay or Mumbai in India.
The book assesses Mumbai’s present trajectories and processes as being embedded in its recent past. It looks at these changes by exploring work and labour; health and education; spatial planning and infrastructural development; politics and identity; and shows how financialisation, land speculation, deregulation, and informality have impacted the city’s culture and everyday living. The contributors to this volume analyse the consequences of these changes for women and men across ages, as they live their material and cultural lives; evaluate the role of the changing nature of work, urban infrastructure, and planning; determine its outcome for public health and education; and take a measure of its manifestation in the field of arts and culture. The volume explores the processes that reorient these changes, the socio-spatial and political implications of these on the inhabitants of the city, and the resistance and response to marginalisation.
This interdisciplinary volume will interest students and researchers of economics, sociology, anthropology, political science, public policy, development studies, and urban studies. It will also be useful to urban practitioners, planners, bureaucrats, activists, and general readers.
