Cultural mapping for digital data interrogation
The abundance of openly accessible datasets, including institutional Open Government Data (OGD) and crowdsourced OpenStreetMap (OSM), presents opportunities and challenges for cultural planning. Recognizing that data are not neutral representations but are shaped by the institutional, social, and political dimensions that produce them, our study presents a methodologically innovative approach to address how and whether community perceptions align…
Hope for transformative urban coalition politics: Insights from Mumbai, India
Changing Times, Changing Contexts, Changing Coalitions: Structures, Agendas, and Politics of Urban Radical Coalitions in Mumbai
This paper contributes to the debate over the relationship between urban coalitions and their political contexts. The main argument in this paper is that the structures, agendas, and political strategies of urban radical coalitions in Mumbai were shaped by their political contexts. The argument is based on the experiences of two urban radical coalitions in Mumbai active in two different periods. The first was the Anti-Price Rise Movement (APRM), …
Contextuality of the strategy of human right to water: Struggle for water access to slum-dwellers in Mumbai, India
This article responds to the need, highlighted in the academic literature, for in-depth investigations into the role of contextual factors in shaping the struggles for water justice, deploying a strategy that relies on the normative appeal or legitimacy of the human right to water—called the HRW strategy. It demonstrates how specific contextual factors were crucial in influencing the course and outcome of a judicial intervention based on the HRW …
Climate justice is social justice: Articulating people’s rights to the city in Mumbai
Mumbai, India’s most populous city, faces rising temperatures, flooding, and pollution. Climate change is an urgent concern, yet strong disagreements divide the city’s population on the nature of appropriate responses to climate crisis. We find that urban activists in Mumbai make an explicit connection between social justice and climate justice. This paper studies three social movements working in Mumbai to secure access to housing, water and san…
Water access disparity in Mumbai, India: Using spatial and structural attributes as formal conditionalities
In order to investigate the role of spatiality in disparities in urban water access in the Indian city of Mumbai, this article uses the dual conceptual lens of “access-as-right” and “access-as-ability” based on the theory of access. The “access-as-right” lens allows for a focus on the role of formal policy and institutional regimes in determining disparity in water entitlements. This article argues that the spatial and structural conditionalities…
