Abstract
Comparative literature on subaltern urbanism neglects inequalities among the poor that
mimic exclusionary processes to which they have been subjected, what we call ‘scalar imitation’. Using Robinson’s ‘launching’ tactic towards ‘generative comparison’, we identify and
explain the evolution of class differentiation within a resettlement colony in Delhi’s periphery, reference ‘glimpses’ of similar processes in literature on subaltern urbanism, and
discuss epistemological underpinnings of our analysis. We revise ‘local uniqueness’, which
Massey developed early in her career, and adhere to her later topological sensibilities and
Foucault’s ‘ascending analysis’. We conclude by highlighting the blurring of worlding and
place making processes.
