Economic corridorsambitious infrastructural development projects that newly liberalizing countries in Asia and Africa are undertakingare dramatically redefining the shape of urbanization. Spanning multiple cities and croplands, these corridors connect metropolises via highspeed superhighways in an effort to make certain strategic regions attractive destinations for private investment. As policy makers search for decentralized and marketoriented means for the transfer of land from agrarian constituencies to infrastructural promoters and urban developers, the reallocation of property control is erupting into volatile landbased social conflicts.In Shareholder Cities, Sai Balakrishnan argues that some of India's most decisive conflicts over its urban future will unfold in the regions along the new economic corridors where electorally strong agrarian propertied classes directly encounter financially powerful incoming urban firms. Balakrishnan focuses on the first economic corridor, the MumbaiPune Expressway, and the construction of three new cities along it. The book derives its title from a current mode of resolving agrarianurban conflicts in which agrarian landowners are being transformed into shareholders in the corridor cities, and the distributional implications of these new land transformations.Shifting the focus of the study of India's contemporary urbanization away from megacities to these inbetween corridor regions, Balakrishnan explores the production of uneven urban development that unsettles older histories of agrarian capitalism and the emergence of agrarian propertied classes as protagonists in the making of urban real estate markets. Shareholder Cities highlights the possibilities for a democratic politics of inclusion in which agrarianurban encounters can create opportunities for previously excluded groups to stake new claims for themselves in the corridor regions.
