Legislative and policy initiatives in India have enabled 'corporate urbanism' in the past decade by creating Special Township Policies and Integrated Township Policies by various state governments. Private actors primarily do such developments. Parallel to urban gating and enclave development worldwide, this budding policy structure places a range of municipal functions, infrastructure, and services under the jurisdiction of integrated townships. This paper examines the applicable policies and acts in India to analyze the state's role in enabling the expansion of such "urban clubs" and promoting the privatization of municipal services. The case of Magarpatta and Lavasa in this study explains how the creation of such 'urban clubs' affect the governance processes inside and surrounding these settings in a much wider metropolitan area.
