The Moving City is a captivating and in-depth exploration of urban transformation, woven through the narrative of Delhi's Metro, a vast infrastructure project that is reshaping the city's social and urban landscapes. Ethnographic vignettes immerse readers in the Metro's atmosphere, allowing them to virtually experience the city, block by block, stop by stop, as if they are passengers on the journey. By unveiling the radical possibilities and tangible inequalities of the Metro, as well as the ways in which people navigate and interact with its built environment, this book delves into the lives of individuals on the move, the essence of Indian aspirations, and the moral and material challenges of sustaining urban life. Through elegant prose, Rashmi Sadana transports readers to a city where the Metro and its inhabitants coexist, offering a unique perspective on Delhi that is unparalleled.
The Moving City is a rich and intimate account of urban transformation, told through the story of Delhi's Metro, a massive infrastructure project that is reshaping the city's social and urban landscapes.
Ethnographic vignettes introduce the feel and form of the Metro, allowing readers to experience the city, scene by scene, stop by stop, as if they, too, have come along for the ride.
Laying bare the radical possibilities and concretized inequalities of the Metro, and how people live with and through its built environment, this is a story of women and men on the move, the nature of Indian aspiration, and what it takes morally and materially to sustain urban life.
Through exquisite prose, Rashmi Sadana transports the reader to a city shaped by both its Metro and those who depend on it, revealing a perspective on Delhi unlike any other.
