This volume studies the urbanisation trends of medium-sized cities of India to develop a typology of urban resilience. It looks at historic second-tier cities like Nashik, Bhopal, Kolkata and Agra, which are laboratories of smart experiments and are subject to technological ubiquity, with rampant deployment of smart technologies and dashboard governance.
The book examines the traditional values and systems of these cities that have proven to be resilient and studies how they can be adapted to contemporary times. It also highlights the vulnerabilities posed by current urban development models in these cities and presents best practices that could provide leads to address impending climate risks. The book also offers a unique Resilience Index that can drive change in the way cities are imagined and administered, customised to specific needs at various scales of application.
Part of the Urban Futures series, the volume is an important contribution to the growing scholarship of southern urbanism and will be of interest to researchers and students of urban studies, urban ecology, urban sociology, architecture, geography, urban design, anthropology, cultural studies, environment, sustainability, urban planning and climate change.

Urban India stands at an interesting moment in history—at the cusp of massive changes and cautious choices. This book maps the new challenges and subsequent choices that emerge as India transitions into more urbanized situations, both spatially and culturally—to cleaner and renewable energy, integrating these new norms into the built environment, providing affordable and accessible physical and social infrastructure to all citizens, addressing the disproportionate climate risks of vulnerable communities, responding to the forces of globalization, conserving our heritage assets, deploying smart technologies for better city governance, designing for all, integrating hard and soft city dimensions for better policy outcomes and greater environmental and social impacts. It underlines and explores the nuances of urban design and urban planning, as well as how they are inextricably enmeshed with sustainability and climate action.
The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of urban studies, sociology, South Asian Studies, built environment, sustainability and climate studies, urban design and urban planning.
