Unlike the traditional global dichotomy of 'rich' versus 'poor' countries, the author adopts a novel approach by disaggregating the urban population using a lifestyle typology approach. This methodology, typically used in affluent consumer societies, is applied to a dynamically transforming and socially heterogeneous urban society for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe research goes beyond income-based differentiation by incorporating India-specific value orientations and social practices to mark social structural differentiation. The study identifies how different lifestyles contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and emphasizes the ambiguity of income-based measures in understanding climate impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book provides a deep analysis of the various socio-economic groups within the megacity, exploring how their lifestyle choices affect personal-level GHG emissions. It critically discusses the inequalities in consumption-based emissions, offering a fresh perspective on urban sustainability in developing countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is invaluable for researchers and policymakers concerned with climate change, urban development, and socio-economic disparities, offering new insights into how lifestyle choices can influence the global climate crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50000347791664,"sku":"DRG.RawatPublications_9783030950460","price":1102.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/Drivers_of_Climate_Change_in_Urban.jpg?v=1756464611","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/drivers-of-climate-change-in-urban-india-social-values-lifestyles-and-consumer-dynamics-in-an-emerging-megacity","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
