About the Book

Health and education are the two most important components of urban social services in India. These two are not only critical for economic and social development but without these, development can neither be broad-based nor sustained.

Economic policies in India have undergone changes over past few years, and many more changes are in the process of being implemented. The book deals with the utilisation of health and education facilities in Ahmedabad in the context of liberalisation. It is primarily based on extensive research carried out jointly by the School of Planning, Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology, Ahmedabad and Department of Human Geography, University of Oslo, Norway.

The book will be useful to urban managers, policy makers, administrators and students of urban sociology.
