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

该项目旨在评估卫星城市的成功，认为这些城市是应对当今特大城市快速城市增长这一紧迫挑战的可能解决方案。通过对印度的一个卫星城市-Mahindra世界城市-进行人种学研究，该项目旨在了解新的城市形态以及城市发展试验对不同社会经济群体的影响。了解卫星城市居民/工作人员的生活经历，旨在为与政策制定者、规划者和开发商的研究驱动对话提供坚实的证据基础。预计从中获得的经验教训将为如何实现城市居民福祉的政策和实践提供信息，同时为亚洲城市的未来提供指示。

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.
