Pipe Politics, Contested Waters de Lisa Björkman

Pipe Politics, Contested Waters

Autor Lisa Björkman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 oct 2015

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.
