Abstract
An unrelenting pace of urbanization and often uncompromising and highly uneven processes of neo-liberalization of 1990s has spurred political and economic shifts in the state’s role in urban development and growth. To secure neoliberal project, urban management was enunciated in different forms at diverse spatial scales gradually transitioning towards ‘urban entrepreneurialism’. This chapter firstly elaborates on the conceptualization of ‘urban entrepreneurialism’ as a politically constructed project, politico-institutionally produced and spatially specific with deep roots in local politics. The second part sheds light on empirical reviews on the wider process of neo-liberalization and its impact at the local level in shaping and realizing ‘entrepreneurial urban governance’ in India. The final section discusses the contextualization of entrepreneurial urbanism in India.
