With urbanization, the frontiers of Indian cities are continuously expanding. Accompanying this expansion are also processes of change in livelihoods, in land use and values, and in the environment. Researches and policy makers alike are divided broadly into urban and rural sectors, as are governments. However little is known about the space where the two meet, namely the peri-urban interface. This book represents the first of its kind in India on the peri-urban interface and brings together a range of subjects related to natural resources and livelihoods looked at holistically in the PUI Framework.
