This volume discusses the displacement of urban populations, inequality and poverty in three cities in South Asia- Colombo and Jaffna in Sri Lanka and Kochi in India. It focuses on the long term effect resettlement and relocation has on the lives and livelihoods of urban internal displacement of populations (IDPs) primarily from urban poor classes. It also discusses the concerns faced by the displacement in post war Sri Lanka. It examines the impacts of conflict on poverty and recovery in peri-urban settings. It emphasises the role of agency of urban IDPs in strengthening their own wellbeing. It draws attention to how the agency of urban IDPs is compromised by the displacement processes and the weak local level governance structures in the cities. The book is intended for researchers, graduate students and teachers of Geography, Social Policy, Refugees and Migration Studies, History, International Development, urban studies and South Asian Studies.
