As cities undergo drastic changes, there is an intense contest for urban space, and rural land commodification is often disastrous for thousands of people. The book critically examines how these changes affect the promise of an 'inclusive city.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vulnerability of consumers to fraudulent practices in the urban housing market is widespread, with significant implications for consumer justice. This book discusses how the state's intervention in housing policies has led to outcomes that do not fully resolve the urban housing crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemaking Urban India: Some Reflections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eState and Urban Housing: Policies, Priorities, and Progress\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsumerism in India: Evolution and Recent Trends\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUrban Housing Market: Vulnerability and Choices of Consumers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAsish Mukhopadhyay is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Kalyani, West Bengal, India.
