Paradoxes of a Global City
Sun Sep 11, 3:00 PM
P Maharshi
Big cities in India have big dreams. The dream to be called a global city. The images about India's economic growth and development invariably are the images of big cities. Big Indian cities are complex. What you see is not usually what you get.
The 'booming' big cities like Hyderabad are filled with paradoxes and contradictions. There is so much incomprehensible about big Indian cities. They have to be understood to understand cities and the people.
The talk covers the not-so-easily comprehensible and visible developments and systems that are involved behind a big city. It covers the contradictions and paradoxes by taking the case of a 'global city' called Hyderabad.
