Rajarhat and the Dystopia of Urban Imagination

Inhalt

This book examines the politics behind, and the socio-economic and ecological repercussions of, the making of a new township called New Town in Rajarhat near Kolkata as a hi-tech 'utopian' city for the opulent, revealing the working of primitive, exploitative modes of capital accumulation at the heart of this post-colonial, neo-liberal urban development.
