| Abstract: | This review examines the book Urbanisation and Urban Policies in India: Trends, Patterns and Emerging Perspectives by Ram B. Bhagat and Mohammad Izhar Hassan, highlighting its interdisciplinary contribution to understanding India's urban transformation. It explores how the book bridges global urban theory with India's empirical realities, critically engaging with debates on migration, inequality, segregation, and urban governance. While commending its comprehensive demographic and policy analysis, the review also argues for a deeper engagement with contemporary critical urban scholarship on spatial inequality and marginality. The review positions the book as a significant contribution to ongoing debates on the changing nature of urbanization and the future of urban policy in India. |
