INDIA'S BLIND SPOT Hardcover

"INDIA'S BLIND SPOT: Understanding and Managing Our Cities" by Devashish Dhar offers a critical examination of India's long-standing policy denial of urbanization, arguing that this oversight has created a "blind spot" with potentially fatal consequences for the nation's future. The book meticulously details how this neglect has led to a cascade of issues, from governance deficits and infrastructure shortfalls to environmental degradation and social inequities, preventing cities from truly becoming engines of growth and well-being. Dhar not only diagnoses the problems but also provides concrete policy solutions and innovative approaches, asserting that recognizing and effectively managing its cities is paramount for India to achieve its promised destiny and drive global political-economic trends in the coming decades.
