Reviews

<p>'[An] intelligent, well-organized, and well-illustrated investigation.' The Architectural Review <p>'I was immediately captivated ... a beautifully written book ... and some fine illustrations.' Urban Design


This is a short but nonetheless intelligent, well organised, and well-illustrated investigation into some of the aspects of conflict between the British-led municipal authorities and the rest of the population of the city of Dehli. <br>-Timothy Brittain-Catlin, Architectural Review <br>
