“The global city framework has been critiqued by scholars \u2014 particularly postcolonial theorists \u2014 who note that cities like Mumbai cannot be described as \u2018splintering\u2019 since they never approximated any modern planning ideal in the first place. Moreover, to characterize a city like Mumbai as simply an incidence of \u2018incomplete modernity\u2019 incorrectly assumes the territorially… Continue Reading Postcolonial Urbanization<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
