Abstract
This research investigates potential pathways through which urban planning and governance mechanisms become drivers of deprivations, conflicts and violence. While also developing a background understanding of Ahmedabad, it discusses contexts of demography and economic transformations since liberalization; their impacts for urban poverty and inequality; the historical growth of the city and resulting spatial segmentation; the current status of housing amongst urban poor and low-income groups; and the urban development paradigm in terms of planning, housing, basic services, street vending and public transport. How can urban planning and governance interventions help reduce urban tensions, inequalities, conflicts and violence in Indian cities?
