这本书是德里环境问题的当代史。它追溯了从十九世纪的卫生问题到当代德里的空气和水污染、废物和毒性问题的历程。它表明，印度城市的环境改善问题是同步的，而不是在时间和空间上分开，这使得它们与全球北方的城市不同。该书通过分析城市中的社会、生物物理和健康相关空间，探讨了多个领域的转变。它参考社会世界来探索对安全和保障的态度、种族和阶级关系、人类和动物的居住地、农村在城市中的地位以及合法和非法行为所处的连续体。结合空间背景，它绘制了环境问题最突出的特定地点，例如河流和屠宰场、街道和工厂、贫民窟和公共空间。夏兰通过社会调查和科学标准来调查生物物理资源的动态：空气和水、它们的污染和可能的纯净状态，筛选痛苦和偏见的情感记录，挖掘规划、治理和风险衡量的词汇。最后，这本书将自己置于有争议的领域，因为德里市和其他地方一样，改善环境的努力不仅旨在确保更清洁的生物物理资源和更好的健康，而且始终致力于创造城市中替代居住方式的可能性。本书穿越了城市的殖民时期和后殖民时期，强调了城市形态的多样性，这在旧城和新首都、居民和统治种族之间的区别中显而易见。在后殖民城市中，规划空间和非正式空间、合法和非法做法、清晰和不确定的条件是阐明城市居住替代模式的更突出的区别。在 OSO 中可用：
This book is a contemporary history of environmental issues in Delhi. It traces the journey from the engagement with sanitary matters in the nineteenth century to issues of air and water pollution, waste and toxicity in contemporary Delhi. Matters of environmental improvement, it suggests, are synchronous in Indian cities rather than being separated in time and space, making them distinct from cities of the global North. The book engages with the shifts on multiple registers by analysing the social, biophysical and health-related spaces in the city. It references the world of the social to explore the attitudes to safety and security, relations of race and class, habitations of humans and those of animals, the place of the rural within the urban and the continuum on which legal and illegal practices locate themselves. Contextualizing the spatial, it maps the specific sites at which environmental issues are most prominently posed, such as rivers and slaughterhouses, streets and factories, slums, and public spaces. Investigating the dynamics of biophysical resources: air and water, their contamination and possible states of purity through social surveys and scientific standards, Sharan sifts through the emotional registers of pain and prejudice, and mines the vocabulary of planning, governance, and the measures of risk. Finally, the book situates itself in contested domains, for efforts at environmental improvement in the city of Delhi, as elsewhere, have been aimed not only at securing cleaner biophysical resources and better health, but have also always been about possibilities of creating alternate ways of dwelling in the city. Traversing the colonial and postcolonial in the city, the book highlights the multiplicity of urban forms evident in the distinction between the old city and the new capital and between the inhabitants and the ruling race. In the postcolonial city, planned and informal spaces, legal and illegal practices, legible, and uncertain conditions have been the more prominent distinctions for articulating alternative modes of urban dwelling.
