Abstract

What is urban about the peri-urban? This paper explores the speculative frontier of volatile real estate investments and exceptional and transitional forms of local government that characterize this peri-urban terrain. By definition lying outside the municipal norm of the metropolitan core, the peri-urban frontier that is outlined in this analysis through a novel database of large-scale investments in residential and commercial capacity across India represents an arena where the statutory definition of the urban, i.e., elected municipal governance, is politically contested. Drawing on case studies of Greater Hyderabad and Noida in the Delhi National Capital Region, this paper traces the divergent modalities of peri-urban government. In Greater Hyderabad, the trajectory leads to institutional fragmentation. In Noida, it results in the concentration of powers in non-representative agencies. In either scenario, I argue that the speculative frontier remains hostile to claim-making by poor groups through the channels of occupancy, even as it empowers propertied classes.

投机前沿:都市外围的房地产、治理和占用
城郊的什么是城市?本文探讨了不稳定的房地产投资的投机前沿和地方政府的特殊和过渡形式,这些都是城市周边地形的特征。根据定义,位于大都市核心的市政规范之外,本分析通过印度各地住宅和商业能力大规模投资的新数据库概述的城市边缘代表了城市法定定义(即选举产生的市政治理)在政治上有争议的舞台。通过对德里国家首都地区的大海得拉巴和诺伊达的案例研究,本文追溯了城郊政府的不同模式。在大海得拉巴,这一轨迹导致了机构分裂。在诺伊达,它导致权力集中在非代表性机构。在任何一种情况下,我都认为,投机前沿仍然对贫困群体通过占用渠道提出索赔持敌对态度,即使它赋予了有产阶级权力。
