Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores and analyses women’s participation in local urban governance in West Bengal, India. It is developed from empirical research with in-depth understanding of ground situations of freedom, functioning and obstacles of women councilors in India. The central idea of this book revolves around two central research questions: 1. How are women’s positions and spaces changing due to their political participation in the urban local governance? and 2. What are the major hurdles they face in their day to day lives barring their emancipation? The main strength of the book lies in the in-depth grounded research in four small cities (Darjiling, Balurghat, Raniganj and Hugli-Chinsurah) using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. This volume can be considered as a reference book for Gender Studies, Women’s Studies, Urban Governance, Women and Policy Research, Gender Development Studies.

Book excerpt: This book examines three vital issues in urbanization and democratization: the institutional structures and processes of urban local governance to improve access to urban services; their outcomes in relation to low-income groups’ access to services, citizen participation in local governance, accountability of local leaders and officials, and transparency in local governance; and the factors that influence access to urban services, especially for the poor and marginalized groups.

Book excerpt: Women empowerment in urban society is similar to that of other structure, that is, not many women are involved in it, especially in the decision making bodies. It is hard for them to participate in public spheres such as the political, administrative, judiciary and trade union due to cultural barriers, low educational levels, domestic responsibilities and other problems. The empowerment of women needs to develop and utilize women's full potential a resources for national development in it economic, political and social-cultural matters. Economic growth does not necessarily lead to human development. Gender equalities is central to realizing Millennium Development Goals. Gender equality will not only empower women to overcome poverty but also their children, families, communities and countries. Thus, gender equality produces a double dividend benefits to both women and children. However, eliminating gender discrimination and empowering women will require enhancing women's influence in the key decisions that save their lives. Women themselves are the most important catalyst for change. However, challenging attitudes towards women at work requires a multifaceted approach. Gender equality, leading to increased work opportunities, enhanced capacities for livelihood developments, labour right to women, enhanced social protection and overall increasing voice can enable women to participate equally in productive employment, contributing to women's development leading to economic growth of the nation. Gender equality, linked with women's empowerment, is thus seen as key aspect of economic growth.

Download or read book Cities Transformed written by Mark R. Montgomery and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the next 20 years, most low-income countries will, for the first time, become more urban than rural. Understanding demographic trends in the cities of the developing world is critical to those countries - their societies, economies, and environments. The benefits from urbanization cannot be overlooked, but the speed and sheer scale of this transformation presents many challenges. In this uniquely thorough and authoritative volume, 16 of the world's leading scholars on urban population and development have worked together to produce the most comprehensive and detailed analysis of the changes taking place in cities and their implications and impacts. They focus on population dynamics, social and economic differentiation, fertility and reproductive health, mortality and morbidity, labor force, and urban governance. As many national governments decentralize and devolve their functions, the nature of urban management and governance is undergoing fundamental transformation, with programs in poverty alleviation, health, education, and public services increasingly being deposited in the hands of untested municipal and regional governments. Cities Transformed identifies a new class of policy maker emerging to take up the growing responsibilities. Drawing from a wide variety of data sources, many of them previously inaccessible, this essential text will become the benchmark for all involved in city-level research, policy, planning, and investment decisions. The National Research Council is a private, non-profit institution based in Washington, DC, providing services to the US government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The editors are members of the Council's Panel on Urban Population Dynamics.

Book excerpt: This book presents the findings of an empirical study of the implementation of women s reservations in four Indian mega-cities: Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. It offers a detailed and lively account of what it means to be a woman Councillor in an Indian mega-city today, and a critical view of the functioning of Municipal Corporations, with specific emphasis on women s roles and opportunities to participate and perform in their new environment. By choosing to consider the decentralization policy in general and women s reservations in particular as an experiment in democratization, the authors provide useful and useable insights into a range of issues at stake.To what extent, in what ways and under which conditions can increased political representation of women at the local level empower women?Is the functioning of urban local bodies truly participatory and inclusive?What are the (other) reforms needed to make women elected to urban local bodies more effective agents of urban development?Archana Ghosh, an economist, is Senior Faculty and Head of the Urban Studies Department in the Institute of Social Sciences, New Delhi, and is based in its Eastern Regional Centre at Kolkata.Stéphanie Tawa Lama Rewal, a political scientist, is a research fellow at the Centre for the Study of India and South Asia (CNRS EHESS), Paris, and a visiting scholar at the Centre de Sciences Humaines, New Delhi.
