Description

Beyond Kolkata: Rajarhat and the Dystopia of Urban Imagination by Routledge explores the complex politics and socio-economic impacts of creating a new township near Kolkata. This study examines the development of New Town, Megacity, or Jyoti Basu Nagar, a project conceived in the mid-1990s to satisfy urban planners and real estate developers. The book analyzes how this hi-tech town was built through coercive land acquisition and state largesse. It investigates the ecological repercussions and the social costs of replacing self-sufficient subsistence models with modern urban structures. This work provides a deep look into the corruption and planning motives that shaped the landscape of Rajarhat.
