Urban Growth Has Rather Been Much Faster Which Has Burdened The Existing Settlement System As Urbanization Could Not Commensurate It.Urban Settlements In Particular Have Borne The Brunt Of Urban Growth. A Few Numbers Of Large Cities Have Grown Out Of Proportion Whereas A Large Number Of Small Settlements Have Stagnated Or Declined In Size. These Large Cities Continue To Dominate The Urban Scene As 23 Of Them As Per 1991 Census, Are Metropolises Inhabiting Nearly 1/3 Of Urban Population. Metropolisation Of Urban Growth Was Being Feared Even During Sixties. Since Then Policies Attempted To Discourage Accretion Of Population At A Few Urban Centres. Number Of Expert Groups Went Into The Problem And During Late Seventies Thoughts Were Crystallizing On Shift Of Development Programmes In Favour Of Medium And Small Towns And Small Cities.Sixth Five Year Plan For The First Time Introduced A Scheme Of Integrated Development Of Small And Medium Towns (Idsmt) In Central Sector. Under The Scheme So Far Nearly 500 Towns With Population Less Than 100,000 Have Been Funded.As A Policy Issue Idsmt Has Been Widely Acclaimed Even Outside India. It S Mechanism And It S Overall Impact On Reducing Rate Of Migration Towards Large Cities Have Not Yet Gained Acceptance. However, In Spite Of Controversies The Idsmt Has Been Put Into, It Is Being Appreciated As First Step Which Aims To Combat Urban Accretion.The Present Volume Reviews Our Process Of Urbanization, Impact Of Idsmt And Various Implications For Urban Policy. The Study Would Be Useful For Policy Makers And Would Greatly Enhance The Scope Of Improvements In The Policy Of Development Of Medium And Small Towns.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This volume decentres the view of urbanisation in India from large agglomerations towards smaller urban settlements. It presents the outcomes of original research conducted over three years on subaltern processes of urbanization. The volume is organised in four sections. A first one deals with urbanisation dynamics and systems of cities with chapters on the new census towns, demographic and economic trajectories of cities and employment transformation. The interrelations of land transformation, social and cultural changes form the topic of the “land, society, belonging” section based on ethnographic work in various parts of India (Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu). A third section focuses on public policies, governance and urban services with a set of macro-analysis based papers and specific case studies. Understanding the nature of production and innovation in non-metropolitan contexts closes this volume. Finally, though focused on India, this research raises larger questions with regard to the study of urbanisation and development worldwide.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This double-volume work focuses on socio-demographics and the use of such data to support strategic resource management and planning initiatives. Papers go beyond explanations of methods, technique and traditional applications to explore new intersections in the dynamic relationship between the utilization and management of resources, and urban development. International authors explore numerous experiences, characteristics of development and decision-making influences from across Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as recounting examples from America and Africa. Papers propound techniques and methods used in geographical research such as support vector machines, socio-economic correlates and travel behaviour analysis. In this volume the contributors examine cutting-edge theories explaining diversity and dynamics in urban development. Topics covered include human vulnerability to hazards, space and urban problematic, assessment and evaluation of regional urban systems and structures and urban transformations as a result of structural change, economic development and underdevelopment. The significance of these topics lie in the pace and volume of change as is happening in geography reflecting continued development within established fields of inquiry and the introduction of significantly new approaches during the last decade. Readers are invited to consider the dynamics of spatial expansion of urban areas and economic development, and to explore conceptual discussion of the innovations in and challenges on urbanization processes, urban spaces themselves and both resource management and environmental management. Together, the two volumes contribute to the interdisciplinary literature on regional resources and urban development by collating recent research with geography at its core. Scholars of urban geography, human geography, urbanism and sustainable development will be particularly interested in this book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book is about the possibility of developing practical and habitable low-income housing in India based on the implementation of three simple constructs: affordability, cost-recovery and replicability. In this context, Pugh argues for a shift in emphasis in housing policy from radical redevelopment to a system of feasible upgrading. He buttresses his argument by citing the success of various World Bank-aided projects in India. In the process of describing these new efforts, Pugh critically analyzes the Indian government's housing policy, the economics of reform and the failures of land policy in Delhi.
