It follows a previous Metropolis Research Publication, Connecting Cities: India- which was one of five volumes of essays that I edited as Director of the Metropolis Congress in Sydney in October 2008. In that edition, some of India's key urban issues were examined through the eyes of commentators including Amitabh Kundu, Narinder Nayer, H.S. Sudhira, Chetan Vaidya, Hitesh Vaidya, Philippe Rode and Rit Chandra. At the conference, Connecting Cities: India catalysed discussions among some of the authors and civic leaders from many Indian cities. Later, Metropolis established a Commission to help evolve debate on issues of Managing Urban Growth. In that context, it seems appropriate to supplement the first book with further documentation on a series of case studies that could help inform governments and communities in other cities
