Moving far beyond the train stations themselves, the book critically studies how this mega-project has displaced residents, reconfigured neighborhoods, and sparked new desires for modernity while also deepening existing social differences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Each chapter unfolds through the lens of a particular metro stop, providing intimate glimpses into the frictions of development--where connectivity and fragmentation, aspiration, and dispossession collide. Engaging with broader debates on urban transformation in the Global South, \u003ci\u003eLahore in Motion \u003c\/i\u003egoes against familiar narratives of top-down development, revealing instead a city that resists and reinvents itself in response. An eye-opening, beautifully written work for all interested in urbanism, infrastructure politics, and a glance into the everyday lives of one of the world's most dynamic cities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ammara Maqsood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800087837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800087835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e UCL Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ammara Maqsood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46927905095935,"sku":"9781800087835","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f3dc888-65b1-4d98-93ae-ad010e78bde0.jpg?v=1749373333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lahore-in-motion-ammara-maqsood-9781800087835","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
