Follow Lahore's Orange Line metro corridor to discover the tensions between progress and displacement, history and modernity, in a city that never sleeps. Lahore is a city in constant flux, and nowhere is this transformation more visible than along the tracks of its first metro rail corridor.

Produktbeschreibung
Follow Lahore's Orange Line metro corridor to discover the tensions between progress and displacement, history and modernity, in a city that never sleeps. Lahore is a city in constant flux, and nowhere is this transformation more visible than along the tracks of its first metro rail corridor. Lahore in Motion follows the Orange Line's 27-kilometer path, weaving together reflections from academics, activists, artists, and architects on the ways infrastructure reshapes urban belonging. Moving far beyond the train stations themselves, the book critically studies how this mega-project has displaced residents, reconfigured neighborhoods, and sparked new desires for modernity while also deepening existing social differences. Each chapter unfolds through the lens of a particular metro stop, providing intimate glimpses into the frictions of development--where connectivity and fragmentation, aspiration, and dispossession collide. Engaging with broader debates on urban transformation in the Global South, Lahore in Motion goes against familiar narratives of top-down development, revealing instead a city that resists and reinvents itself in response. An eye-opening, beautifully written work for all interested in urbanism, infrastructure politics, and a glance into the everyday lives of one of the world's most dynamic cities.
