This book identifies the key characterisitcs of the city and explores the processes which have led to its conspicuous successes and hidden conflicts. The three main themes treated are labour and enterprise; claims on land, housing and health; politics and populism - the contributors dealing with the present as well as with its roots in the recent and colonial past.  aCommunities911793  aUrbanization911794  aSocial Conditions911795  aEconomic History911796  aPATEL (Sujata) Ed911797  aTHORNER (Alice) Ed911798  2ddccGF  c220968d220968  00102ddc40708SOCaALbALd2013-03-24l0o307.760 PATBpGF00761r2021-12-18 00:00:00w2021-12-18yGF
