DYNAMICS OF PUBLIC SPACE IN A GLOBALIZING CITY ...

Urban public space is being redefined and revaluated in the emerging megacity of Hyderabad. In
everyday life  exclusion takes place  but also the corresponding persistence of groups
perceived as backward and undeveloped. Elites try to shape globally competitive cities
attractive for foreign investment: they see the disappearance of street vending as progress 
yet vendors can still be found everywhere. Illustrated by a case study  this book uses the
production of public space to exemplify ambivalent outcomes of change: as a new aesthetic is
implemented  access to public space becomes contested and its appropriate use is redefined.
