Funded Activity Summary

Religion and Urban Development in India: Planning Sustainable Cities. This project argues that religion influences urban development in India, and must inform policy. India's scale and speed of urbanisation makes its sustainable urban development critical globally, yet modernist urban planning has failed to address slum growth, poverty, gender inequality and ecological crises. Using interviews, archival research and fieldwork in six walled cities that clearly display the interactions of religion and modernity, this project will show how religion also shapes these issues and must be part of their solution. It will also show how religion impacts power relations in planning, and how engagement with religion can lead to the development of planning policies that respond to the needs of cities.
