| Abstract
|
:
|
In Pipe Politics, Contested Waters, Lisa Björkman explores why water is chronically unavailable in Mumbai, India's economic and financial capital. She attributes water shortage to economic reforms that allowed urban development to ignore the water infrastructure, which means that in Mumbai, politics is often about water.
