Life, living and livelihoods in satellite cities: new urban forms in India

该项目旨在评估卫星城的成功，这些卫星城被设想为应对当今特大城市快速增长的紧迫挑战的可能解决方案。通过印度卫星城--马辛德拉世界城市的人种学，该项目旨在为不同的社会经济群体提供关于新的城市构成和城市发展试验的结果的知识。了解卫星城居民/工人的生活经历旨在为与政策制定者、规划者和开发商进行以研究为导向的对话奠定坚实的证据基础。预计从中汲取的经验教训将为政策和实践提供指导，说明如何实现城市居民的福祉，同时为亚洲的城市未来提供指示。

This project aims to assess the success of satellite cities, conceived as possible solutions to the urgent challenge of rapid urban growth in today’s megacities. Through an ethnography of an Indian satellite city, Mahindra World City, this project aims to generate knowledge on new urban formations and the consequences of experiments in urban development for different socio-economic groups. Understanding the lived experiences of residents/workers in satellite cities aims to form a robust evidence base for research driven dialogue with policy makers, planners and developers. Lessons derived are expected to inform policy and practice as to how to achieve wellbeing for urban residents, while providing indications of Asia’s urban futures.
