It is interesting to note that while many cities in the global North are moving towards alternative development regimes under the “slow city” movement, urban production in traditional societies of the global South is being enslaved to “speed.” The analysis of the changes being brought about in these cities reveals how alternative forms of development and social organisation—termed as slow cities, akin to slow food—can lead to more sustainable cities and “eurhythmia” in urban life. date: 2019-12-07 date_type: published official_url: https://www.epw.in/journal/2019/48/special-articles/towards-%E2%80%98slow%E2%80%99-and-%E2%80%98moderated%E2%80%99-urbanism.html oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1704289 lyricists_name: Datta, Ayona lyricists_id: ADATT87 actors_name: Allington-Smith, Dominic actors_id: DAALL44 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Economic & Political Weekly volume: 54 number: 48 pagerange: 36-42 issn: 2349-8846 citation: Shaban, A; Datta, A; (2019) Towards 'Slow' and 'Moderated' Urbanism.
