TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first ever neighbourhood-scale portrait of caste-based residential segregation in Indian cities, using 2011 enumeration block (EB) level census data for five major cities in India.
Abstract: We present the first ever neighbourhood-scale portrait of caste-based residential segregation in Indian cities. Residential segregation studies in Indian cities have relied on ward-level data. We demonstrate in this paper that wards cannot approximate an urban neighborhood, and that they are heterogeneous. For a typical ward, the neighbourhood-ward dissimilarity index is greater than the wardcity dissimilarity index. Using 2011 enumeration block (EB) level census data for five major cities in India – Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai – we show how patterns of caste-based urban residential segregation operate in contemporary India. We also present the first visual snapshot of castebased residential segregation in an Indian city using georeferenced EB level data for Bengaluru. Besides implications for policy, our analysis also points to the need for publicly available, geospatially-linked neighborhood-scale census data that includes data on economic class for a spatial understanding of economic and social stratification within Indian cities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a metabolic framework for domestic water use in Bangalore, one of the fastest growing urban agglomerations in India, and showed that a spatially explicit understanding of consumption patterns is crucial to addressing three central aspects of the water conundrum.
Abstract: The rapid growth of urban India has added new saliency to the resource conflict between the burgeoning cities and village India that continues to be the home for vast majority of Indians. Cities, like living organisms, depend on external metabolic flows to keep them alive. Among all the metabolic flows of matter and energy none is more important than water – especially water used for meeting basic drinking water and other domestic consumption needs. This paper develops a metabolic framework for domestic water use in Bangalore, one of the fastest growing urban agglomerations in India. Our urban metabolism framework treats the city as a tightly-coupled social-ecological system and shows that a spatially explicit understanding of consumption patterns is crucial to addressing three central aspects of the water conundrum – equity, ecological sustainability and economic efficiency.

TL;DR: This paper developed a formal framework to investigate the relationship between ecological economics' concept of scale, and the more traditional concerns of allocation, and distribution, and developed a simple dynamic model relating these three efficiencies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first large-scale snapshot of urban residential segregation in India at the neighborhood-scale, showing that the extent of segregation in the largest metropolitan centers with over ten million residents closely tracks cities that are nearly two orders of magnitude smaller.
