Gurgaon: From Mythic Village to Millennium City by Veena Talwar Oldenburg is a compelling study of one of India’s most dramatic urban transformations. Tracing Gurgaon’s journey from a village shaped by memory, land, and local life to a modern city of glass towers and rapid growth, the book explores how development reshapes places and people alike.
Blending history, sociology, and urban observation, this title will appeal to readers interested in Indian cities, real estate-driven change, and the social impact of modernization. It offers an insightful look at ambition, displacement, and the making of a contemporary urban landscape.
