What research studies Kolkata?

Papers about Kolkata as a subject — its agriculture, health, environment and society — regardless of where the authors sit.

Summary

Research on Kolkata concentrates on daily urban pressures. The leading themes are urban and rural development challenges (14), child nutrition and water access (12), and air quality and health impacts (11), with transport, well-being and epidemiology also recurring.

WATCH Watch whether this urban research begins shaping transport, water and health decisions.
