"This brilliant collection of essays written by a stellar bunch of academics and practitioners is a critical addition to the expanding knowledge frontier on infrastructure and cities in Pakistan. Anchored in the mega-infrastructure project the Orange Line, the stories unfold at multiple scales and bring to life the contradictory effects of infrastructure's longstanding promise of a better urban future."

Nausheen Anwar, author of Infrastructure Redux: Crisis, Progress in Industrial Pakistan and Beyond

"A lovely, mind-boggling tapestry of a book. Lahore in Motion gives us sharp, short glimpses into how Lahore lives, dies, plays, goes to work, prays, celebrates, resists and surrenders. Intimate forays into how a city reinvents itself, struggles to breathe and remembers that other imagined Lahore of legends."

Mohammed Hanif, author of Rebel English Academy

"Unfolding the personal and neighbourhood frictions lived along the Orange Line, a sensitive, accessible and scholarly portrait of contemporary city life emerges in these pages as a choir of discordant voices ruminate on the practical and symbolic logics of urban infrastructure."

Caroline Knowles, author of Serious Money: Walking Plutocratic London

"A compelling journey with electric insights about Lahore’s old and new geographies one metro station at a time. Each author provides an intricate and personal gateway into the city to muse and reflect on how people live, aspire and remember."

Rashmi Sadana, author of The Moving City: Scenes from the Delhi Metro and the Social Life of Infrastructure
