Uncivil city ecology, equity and the commons in delhi

---

Uncivil City: Ecology, Equity and the Commons in Delhi looks at two decades of environmental politics in Delhi--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.
