Book Description
This evaluation of the potential of remote sensing of urban areas helps to close a gap between the research-focused results offered by the "urban remote sensing" community, and the application of these data and products by the governing bodies of cities and urban regions. The authors present data from six urban regions worldwide. They explain what the important questions are, and how data and scientific skills can help answer them.

Book Description
Published by Academic Foundation under arrangement with : PLANNING COMMISSION,GOVERNMENT OF INDIA,New Delhi. The Planning Commission has decided to prepare State Development Reports (SDRs) for all States and Union Territories of India. The objective in bringing out these reports is to provide independent quality reference documents on the development profile, set out strategies for accelerating the growth rate of States, lessen disparities and reduce poverty. The SDRs are meant to discuss the constraints and challenges facing the States and provide a vision, blueprints or a roadmap for its overall progress and prosperity. Each SDR is being prepared with the assistance of reputed national level-agencies under the supervision of a Core Group, headed by a Member of the Planning Commission, and including senior representatives of the State Government. The publication of the Delhi Development Report follows the recently published SDRs of Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Orissa, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Lakshadweep, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Karnataka, Kerala and Sikkim. The Delhi Development Report reviews the experience of NCT Delhi and highlights issues critical for the State`s development in the years ahead. The Report is expected to be an important value document and will impart value for development practitioners interested in the State and act as a roadmap for accelerated growth in the future.

Book Description
Recent surveys on urban agglomerations reveal that more than half the world's population currently lives in cities. It is also estimated that by the year 2030, developing countries will account for 80 per cent of the world's urban population. In India, over 61 million people are urban slum dwellers, nearly 22 per cent of the urban population. As Indian cities continue to grow and expand, they face the challenges of providing infrastructure, housing, water, sanitation, healthcare and education to their citizens. Densely populated, the massive urban conglomerate spread across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region is the largest urban conglomerate in India. Mumbai personifies the paradox of extreme wealth and extreme poverty living side by side. It, more than any other Indian city, is a city in transition, looking to the future, attempting to modernize. However, its attempt at modernization must include efforts to improve the quality of life of all its citizens. This report is a step in that direction. It is the first, global city-level human development report that analyses in-depth various issues such as population, education, slums, gender, health, among others, that will aid the city's progress in future. Authored by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, this comprehensive report was prepared under the National Strategy for Urban Poor Project, a joint project of the Government of India and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). It will be of interest to administrators and policymakers, civil society organizations, urban planners and researchers, university and institutional libraries, as well as various government ministries and departments, and national and international agencies.

Book Description
Climate change and global warming is one of the burning issues, which need more attention, awareness and understanding. It refers to change in average weather pattern for an extended period of time in terms of decades or millions of years. Climate change is caused by several factors like variation in solar radiation, plate movements and volcanic activities. In addition, human intervention plays a major role in ongoing climate change. The continuous rise in global temperature affecting the hydrological cycle has substantial impact on surface and sub-surface water resources. The Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2000) reports that the surging population, increasing industrialization and associated demands for freshwater, food and energy would be major areas of concern in the climate change aspect. Increase of temperature increases evaporation, resulting in droughts. Under warmer environment, more precipitation will occur as rainfall rather than snow. The changes in monsoon rainfall may be considered as measure to examine climate variability in the context of global warming. Glaciers are an important source for fresh water and considered among the most sensitive indicators of climate change. People living in the catchment areas of the Himalayas face increased risk of floods as glaciers retreat followed by drought and water scarcity. In the coming decades, it is predicted that billions of people in developing countries face shortages of water and food as a result of climate change. Rigorous action has to be taken to enable developing countries to adapt to the effects of climate change. Hence, it is an urgent need for assessing impact and vulnerabilities of climate change, as well as considering possible adaptation options. The deliberations in the conference may be useful in understanding the impact of climate change on water resource, create awareness, learning process for planning and implementing adaptation options.

Book Description
This book is a chronicle of our times, offering a glimpse into what needs to be done, to redress the chaos that is urban development. Written with honesty, it is the story of the slumming in our cities and how a large number of urbanites living on pavements came to be slumwalas and how a number of urban development walas are letting our cities slowly die.
