Description

Explore the transformation of Calcutta through this detailed historical account from Routledge. This book tracks the evolution of three small villages as they merged into a major primate city. It details the complex process where a garrison town, a port city, and an imperial capital became a single unified entity. Readers will understand the geopolitical factors that helped secure the position of Calcutta during the rise of the East India Company and the subsequent British Empire. This work serves as a definitive history of the city during its early years. It covers important topics such as city-planning challenges and the effects of de-industrialization. Whether you are a student of history or a researcher interested in colonial urban development, this volume provides essential context on how the city grew and changed. It acts as a companion to Birth of a Colonial City, offering a deep look into the foundations of one of the most significant cities in history.
