Assorted 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 multifacted methodological perspective it introduces, and the commitment it underlines toward social justice and equity in a democracy.
