I have recently come across SAGE published book "Cities and Public Policy: An Urban Agenda for India" by Prasanna K Mohanty, Chief secretary to Government of Andhra Pradesh.

This book draws lessons from the economic theory of cities, and international and national best practices in their efficient management, to develop and urban agenda for India. It recognizes the central role of cities in catalyzing growth and generating public finance for economic development. A unique combination of theory and practice, it proposes policy measures and reforms to meet the challenges of urbanization in India.
