His mentorship and enthusiasm have stimulated me to pursue this dissertation with vigour and conviction. The guidance received from my reviewers, Prof. Takada and Prof. Kanki have been invaluable, for which I thank them wholeheartedly. I am also thankful to all the faculty members of the Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering, Kyoto University for their constructive criticism which has helped to augment the quality of this dissertation. I am indebted to the reviewers who reviewed my papers and provided sharp remarks for improvement as well as encouraging words of appreciation. The Monbukagakusho Scholarship made it possible for me to carry out this research by supporting my stay in Japan. This experience has enriched me incomparably. I am also thankful to “Kyoto University Global COE Program-Global Center for Education and Research on Human Security Engineering for Asian Megacities” for supporting this research through structured courses and funding the site visits. My heartfelt gratitude is due for all the members of Monnai Laboratory, who have been my family for the last three years, with special thanks to Prof. Moriyama who has helped me in a professional as well as personal capacity. My husband Nitin has been my constant support both as a colleague and a friend. I thank him for the immense effort and time that he has devoted for my research. This dissertation is as much his as it is mine. My professors from IIT Kharagpur; Prof. B. K. Sengupta and Prof. Joy Sen have always found the time to advise and encourage me. I thank them for continuing to be my teachers and well-wishers. I acknowledge the help of MMRDA, BMC, AMC and AUDA, most notably, Mr. Daftardar, and Mrs. Neela Munshi. I would also like to thank Mr. K. Ghorpade, Mr. Swaminathan and Mr. Shirish Patel who have been very generous in sharing their valuable time and resources with me. The success of the field study was dependent on the assistance I received from the State Bank of India, especially from Mr. Rajpurkar. Their warm hospitality and keen interest in my work was very humbling. iii This thesis is built on hope, inspiration and strength provided by my family and friends. I would like to thank my parents and my parents-in-law for their encouragement and faith.
