Exploring the association of urbanisation and subjective well-being in India
2023, CitiesCitation Excerpt :There has been a rise in the rate of suicides in urban India, and suicides and attempted suicides were more common in urban India (NCRB, 1994; Khan et al., 2005). Increasing urbanisation in India has resulted in unique migration patterns (Mukherji, 2013) and brought to light social disparities (Bhalla, 1990; Sawant & Mhatre, 2000). There are vast economic and social indicators disparities between urban and rural India (Basanta et al., 2000).
Property rights in informal settlements
2022, CitiesCitation Excerpt :Informality is a widely used and contested notion used to characterize many developing countries' housing sectors (Gilbert, 2002; Roy & Ong, 2011). The intensive study of informal settlements produced various explanations, definitions, and conceptualizations (Mangin, 1967; Harris & Todaro, 1970; Bhalla, 1990; De Soto, 2000; Davis, 2006; Mullan et al., 2011). Given the above, it is undoubtedly clear that the housing challenge is immense.
Spatiotemporal dynamics of development inequalities in Lahore City Region, Pakistan
2020, CitiesCitation Excerpt :There is an increasing need of assessing inequalities as there is a direct link among inequalities/disparities economic growth and poverty reduction approaches (Birdsall & Londoño, 1997; Ravallion, 2001). Inequalities are observed in both developed (Korpi & Palme, 1998) and developing countries (Balisacan & Fuwa, 2004; Fosu, 2011; Martinez, 2009), like India (Bhalla, 1990; Deaton & Dreze, 2002), and China (Rana, 2014; Goh, Luo, & Zhu, 2009; Sicular, Ximing, Gustafsson, & Shi, 2007). Urban and regional development is generally measured in terms of socioeconomic growth, infrastructural developments, and quality of life (Dewan, Yamaguchi, & Ziaur Rahman, 2012).
Informality, property rights, and poverty in China's "favelas"
2016, World DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :Informality is a widely used and contested notion used to characterize large parts of the housing sector in developing countries (Gilbert, 2002; Roy, 2011). The intensive study of informal settlements in the second half of the twentieth century has yielded a variety of explanations, definitions, and conceptualizations (Bhalla, 1990; Davis, 2006; De Soto, 2000; Harris & Todaro, 1970; Mangin, 1967; Mullan, Grosjean, & Kontoleon, 2011 and many others). Much of the discussion revolves around land tenure, poverty, self-organization, government interventions, migration, income disparity, informal economy, infrastructure, and governance issues.
Health in China and India: A cross-country comparison in a context of rapid globalisation
2008, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :In China, following the founding of the PRC in 1949, health services became owned, financed and run by the government. In India, following independence in 1947, the health care system evolved from a political structure of market-orientated socialism, with the coexistence of private and public sectors (Bhalla, 1990). In practice, health care provision in China and India is structured upon similar lines, in that both countries adopt a hierarchical system of provision, with policy decided centrally and administered regionally, in the case of China via the Provincial Governments and in India via the State Governments.
