Book Description
About The Book

In this volume, sponsored by the Government of West Bengal, on the occasion of the Tercentenary of the city of Calcutta, a group of scholars—town planners, historians, social scientists, engineers and administrators—take a close and critical look at the civic and ecological problems of the city, tracing how they have grown and assumed. their present dimensions over the years, documenting the planned official interventions in the process, assessing them to measure _ their success and failure, and offering programmes and suggestions for the future. The problems to which they address themselves include land, land use and land market; housing, settlement, and resettlement of slums and squatter settlements; drainage, sanitation and waste management; traffic and transportation; and water supply. In their more area-specific approaches they never miss out on. the larger framework of the pattern that the urban growth of the city has followed in the more recent past. The first study of its kind, it should serve as a model for similar studies of metropolises in the developing world; and offer useful perspectives for developmental planning.
