Introduction -- From a horizontal to a vertical lifestyle: Impact of relocation on sense of belonging -- Conflict, Poverty and Recovery in Passaiyoor East in Jaffna City in Sri Lanka -- Rethinking Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Cochin City: Ignored and Concealed -- De-housing and re-housing- Evictee's reflections on the process: the experiences of relocation in Colombo and Cochin -- Older person's lives in relocated community: a case study of development induced relocation in Colombo, Sri Lanka -- Conclusions and recommendations.

This book discusses the displacement of urban populations, inequality, and poverty in three cities in South Asia-Colombo, Jaffna in Sri Lanka, and Kochi in India. It focuses on the long-term effect resettlement and relocation has on the lives and livelihoods of urban internal displacement of populations (IDPs) primarily from urban poor classes. It also discusses the concerns faced by the displacement in post-war Sri Lanka. It examines the impacts of conflict on poverty and recovery in peri-urban settings. It emphasizes the role of agency of urban IDPs in strengthening their own well-being. It draws attention to how the agency of urban IDPs is compromised by the displacement processes and the weak local level governance structures in the cities. The book is intended for researchers, graduate students, and teachers of Geography, Social Policy, Refugees and Migration Studies, History, International Development, Urban Studies, and South Asian Studies.
