Contents:

Part 1. Whose land is it anyway? -- part 2. The impact of acquisition -- part 3. New owners of an old land -- part 4. The schizophrenia of the peri-urban town -- part 5. Growth pangs of young towns.

Summary: Urban Villageris a superbly etched and finely detailed representation of the life of an 'urban villager' in a modern satellite town of India. It describes how Delhi, as a city, is growing radially, stretching its way into the rural fringes of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh that border the city to form the National Capital Region. Through the microcosm of Greater Noida, a suburb of New Delhi, the author draws a portrait of life in a semi-urban town, where billion dollar homes and villages with no sewage system share the same pin code. Some farmers sell their land and try to cope with a new found pro.
