"This book is about citizen action - people doing things to make their city work better, while at the same time continuing with their normal work and personal lives. The experiences of a group of people over a 30-year period are narrated as short stories to describe the issues they dealt with, the methods they used and the results they were able to achieve...or that eluded them.

Sustainable solutions to urban problems need sustained citizen involvement. The setting for these stories is Calcutta, India, but the experiences could have been in any large city."--page 4 of cover.
