This project centrally addresses the concerns of the Cities, Environmentand Liveability Pathway, linking questions of livelihood precarity underclimate change to a critical examination of current practices of urbangovernance. Its deliberate decision to focus on marginalised workers in'2nd tier' cities will allow it to fulfil a much needed research gap in researchwithin the well-recognised global challenge of climate change adaptation.Much of global urban growth over the coming decades will be of poorerpeople in non-metropolitan cities (an estimated additional 200+ million inIndia alone by mid-century): taking these people's experiences of livelihoodprecarity as its core, and examining the effects of current climate changeadaptation on them therefore promises insights that will be of interests toall parts of the Pathway.
