Abstract

This paper lays out relevant urban context in terms of demography, economic history and employment, the history of migration and conflicts in Assam and Guwahati, the processes of urban growth and development in the city, as well as urban governance. Part II identifies and discusses key arenas of conflicts and violence that are linked to land, planning and governance regimes in the city, namely, informal settlement of the city’s hills, street vending, and women’s safety and safe access to public transport. These arenas of conflict and violence are the focus areas for the research project.
