Rule By Aesthetics: World-Class City Making in Delhi
Ghertner, Asher (Assistant Professor of Geography, Assistant Professor of Geography, Rutgers University)
Rule by Aesthetics draws on extensive fieldwork in Delhi's slums, courtrooms and state offices to shed fresh light on the violent underpinnings of contemporary city making. Presenting a new theory of urban power, Ghertner shows how aesthetic codes replaced conventional city planning tools in Delhi's millennial slum clearance drive.
