Discuss the spatial pattern of urban development in contemporary india . In 500 words

Answer 1

The relationships of intraurban population density to distance from the centers of twenty-two Indian cities are calculated by regression. Analysis of variance shows that these relationships have statistical significance and generally conform to a model based on negative exponential decline of density with increasing distance. However, four patterns of deviation from the model are found: (1) highest concentration in a compact central area, with sharp decline outward; (2) highest concentration marginal to less dense population in the central business district, with gradual decline toward the periphery; (3) moderate concentration in two distinct areas, with density gradients not pronounced; and (4) urban areas where low concentrations are maintained through centralized planning and control. Examination of temporal changes in population density shows that in cities of the first group progressive central concentration is concurrent with growth, but this tendency is less marked, or is absent, in the other groups.

Answer 2

Spatial disparities have manifested the Indian urban scenario. The main causes of these disparities are regional differences, imbalanced population distribution and sometimes shifts in the concept of census "urban areas." Thus, two words, over-urbanisation and surrounding development, need to be mentioned.

EXPLANATION:

Over Urbanisation: The accommodation of people in cities or urban areas is constrained by the provision of city services and facilities, for instance, schools, hospitals and others. In addition to certain maximum capacity, the city government finds it difficult to provide the increasing population with facilities. Mumbai and Kolkata are two such examples of cities (among others) that are not able to manage urban population growth. This is an over-urbanization aspect.

Sub-Urbanisation: It is closely related to the over-urbanization of a city. It results if if cities are overcrowded by population.  Delhi is a typical example (including) of the suburbanization phenomenon. Sub-urbanization means to urbanize rural areas in cities with the following characteristics: A significant increase in urban (non-farm) uses of lands; including in its municipal limits the peripheral areas of the city; and the intensive contact of all kinds between the towns and their surrounding areas.

Some of the variations in spatial disparities that were found in the pattern of urbanisation in India

• Urban city development in India did not demonstrate unidirectional change. The number of town centers declined due to differences in the census concept of urban.
• The pattern of urbanisation among different states in India shows an interesting feature of urban domination in some states.
• The population in the bigger urban centres (with 1,00,000 or more) has continuously been increasing in India
• There were 23 metropolitan agglomerations/ cities with an area of over one million each at the time of the 1991 census enumeration. During the 1981-1991 decade, the number almost doubled. At the time of the 2001 census, the number increased to 35
