It examines the very rationale behind one such project in Pakistan - the Lyari Expressway - and demonstrates how the project was justified in the name of greater common good; nonetheless it ended causing insurmountable anguish and pain to thousands of displaced persons.

This book is recommended for academics in social and political sciences and to development experts and policy makers. 64 pp. Englisch.…
