"the state sought to de-link land from older notions of community by doing
away with pre-modern forms of land tenure and instituting a transparent market
in land."
single uses, single families
(subsumption of caste identity into economic class identity)
(migration patterns, self-ghettoising, search for commonality)
patchwork neighborhoods - belonging as not 'given' but 'produced'

"the densely textured mix of work and residence that characterizes the older
parts of the city".
(chawl, wadi, cf "live-work communities" from "a pattern language")

"a certain kind of public, representative building"
(cf that le corbusier number in notebook, re perceiving new form in industrial
practise and shifting it into live/work practise)
"the powerful appeal of modernist architectural discourse, the way in which it
is a universal discourse that always appears to be responding entirely to
local needs."

"something harmonious is being irrevocably destroyed. The change to the city's
buildings 'may be logical and for the better, yet it certainly closes the
pages of Bombay's history that were formerly open and accessible to every
way-farer.'"

cooperative societies for building (cf the building society model. extraction
of value. translation into value holding entity. housing associations. shifts
in context around them, increased transience, renegotiation of agreement.)
food practise, vegetarianism forcing inclusion / exclusion, smell of practise

internal space previously was not strongly differentiated. "anywhere where
there was space, people would be sleeping at night. Only place that was
special was kitchen."

"A mixed narrative of continuity, change, and invention of traditions."

The Ideal Home Exhibition of 1937

"allocation and segregation of (domestic) space on the basis of function"

"functionally discrete spaces which made communication between spaces *the*
major problem for those concerned about the city."

chawls start to equate with slums, and functional discretion is a part of slum
clearance.

re-inscribing, into law, ways in which cooperative societies can restrict
their membership by different kinds of cultural groupings

scarce housing -> communal tensions

"cooperative societies might even be the nexus around which traditional Indian
ideas of community, such as caste and religion, are reconfigured in the urban
context."

"knowledge producing apparatuses such as the census"

"space was de-linked from ideas of community, and de-spatialized notions of
community and group difference became the organizing principle of Indian
politics"

"encircling the downtown area there is normally an area in transition, which
is being invaded ... the workers in industries who have escaped from the area
of dterioration"

"the antagonistic yet complementary processes of centralisation and decentralisation"
public utlitiies and social 'mechanisaztion', hm.
saul should be reading this, given when it comes from in time (1915?), yet saying
"the area of deterioration, while essentially one of decay, of sttionary or
declining population, is also one of regeneration, as witness the mission, the
settlement, the artists' colony, radical centers - all obsessed with the
vision of a new and better world."

"segregation limits development in certain directions, but releases it in others"
"a moderate degree of disorganization may and does facilitate social organization"

city/body analogy

greater mobility -> possibility of demoralization
mutability of core, and number of connections
mobility and communication intensity

"Response to stimulation is wholesome so long as it is a correlated *integral*
reaction of the whole personality"

the city as ... a kind of psychophysical mechanism in and through which
private and poltiical interests find not merely a collective but a corporate
expression."
"local improvement society"

transportation and impermanency of neighborhood
"How do people get into and out of the group thus formed?"

"what is in the history of the neighborhood? What is there in the
subconsciousness - in the forgotten or dimly remembered experiences - of this
neighborhood which determins its sentiments and attitudes?"
"What does it regard as matter of fact? What is news?"
