Yet, when we listen to debates about city planning and governance, and observe urban\u003cbr\u003eenvironmental campaigns on the ground, we notice that they have little to do with ecology or justice. To examine this contradiction, Uncivil City: Ecology, Equity and the Commons in Delhi looks at two decades of environmental politics in\u003cbr\u003eDelhi-across homes and workplaces, ordinary streets and extraordinary spectacles, and the river and the Ridge. It argues that the terms of the discourse-what is an environmental issue, who is authorised to speak, and which modes of action count as legitimate-are partial, particularistic and perverse. 'Bourgeois environmentalists', who claim to speak in the public interest, for nature and society, have made the city what it is: unfair and unliveable. Only citizenship and civility will save the commons-air, water, space and trees-upon which cities depend for survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amita Baviskar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9348566555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789348566553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yoda Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Amita Baviskar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881183531263,"sku":"9789348566553","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43e18e27-d548-4079-9377-430bbd075c11.jpg?v=1747970927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/uncivil-city-amita-baviskar-9789348566553","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
