“…the relatively less-skilled business processing call centres (Biao, 2006;Upadhyay and Vasavi, 2008). Hyderabad is also known for its extensive network of for-profit post-secondary institutions that specialize in engineering and computer science, and that form the supply chain for Hi-Tech city (Biao, 2006;Kamat, 2011;Kamat, Hussain and Mathew, 2004;Upadhyay and Vasavi, 2008). Global multinationals such as Google and Microsoft have their country headquarters in the city, making it an attractive destination for global edu-businesses looking for commercially viable technologybased solutions in education.…”

“…Several local and transnational companies such as Infosys, Microsoft and Google have established their firms in strategic locations in Hyderabad and Bangalore. Moreover, the participation of private sector and multilateral aid agencies such as IMF and the World Bank in managing and improving public resources and services are evident in its city's urbanization policies (Das, 2015;Kamat, 2011;Nastar, 2014;Nef & Robles, 2000).…”

This research is an attempt to examine the everyday experiences of water insecurity among poor women in urban India. Their everyday living around a limited amount of water was captured visually to exhibit local idioms of struggling. There is empirical evidence that the narratives of becoming a global city often exacerbate the presence of social polarization and inequality in cities of the Global South. This includes unequal access to water, especially among subordinate groups. Drawing from fieldwork conducted in Hyderabad and Bangalore on water insecurity, the findings show that the impacts of water insecurity are highly gendered and contentious. It is in the landscape of gender division of labour that women have to negotiate their everyday lives around water. Deploying photography as the primary method, this article demonstrates the social dimension of water insecurity and the impact on women's lives who bear the majority of domestic water issues. It is concluded that lack of efforts by the state and its agencies to improve understanding of the lived experience of water insecurity would aggravate the water issues in urban India and leave poorer urban women to be highly water insecure.

“…However, this has not led to safety actions, and behind this lack of action we can detect a political and cultural mindset of "do not disturb the mass motorisation", as it is considered one of the most evident and welcome outcomes of economic growth and symbols of a globalized society (Kamat 2011). Neglecting the idea that walking is "by far the most important means for achieving urbanity in public spaces" (Rode 2013) the requirements of pedestrians are not recognised as part of urban transport infrastructure.…”

Urban streets -as part of public space -can be defined as limited and valuable resources dedicated to public use. Using speed and scale as major spatial categories, and history as a methodological approach, we argue that the physical use and representation of urban streets reflect the array of uses and users and their understanding of governing the resource. We argue that by analysing the spatial subdivisions of urban streets it is possible to draw conclusions about the type of societal governance applied to them: a highly formalized and regulated or a less formalized and ad hoc type of governance. In this respect, space matters, and so do culture and geography: a comparative analysis among German and Indian cities shows how a similar urban model -mixed use, short distances and growing motor-vehicle dominance -can drive different outcomes. Due to different urban scales, speeds of urbanisation as well as institutional and cultural backgrounds, those two examples show remarkable divergences, especially when we discuss issues of inclusion and exclusion.
