City One: the South Asian conference on the urban experience was held between 9-11th January 2003 at the CSDS- Sarai premises on 20 Rajpur Road. With six plenary sessions, eighteen parallel sessions, the conference was an intense and intellectually charged event. The participants ranged from well known social scientists, activists and practitioners, as well as an emerging generation of researchers on urban issues. Also attending was a large section of the local community of scholars, students and practitioners, as well as those residing outside of Delhi and India who had pre-registered specially for the conference. There were an average of 300 people every day at the conference venue.
The Conference was supported by IDPAD [Indo-Dutch Programme for Alternatives in Development] as part of the Megacities series.
