The book delves into the urban governance of China and India, two nations experiencing rapid urbanization. It examines how their distinct governance styles lead to inequality and exclusion, with China focusing on territorial institutions and India on associational politics. Through historical-comparative analyses and fieldwork in major cities, the author reveals how these governance models, rooted in their respective histories, influence land acquisition, slum clearance, and environmental issues. The findings highlight the broader implications of urban development in these populous countries.
