discuss the spratial pattern of urban devlopment in contemporary india
Answers
Hey,
The cities of India have entered a period of growth, reflecting the country’s general population increase and rising employment in secondary and tertiary economic activities. From 624 million in 1951 India’s urban population rose to 78–9 million in 1961, an increase of 26·4 per cent. In the 50 years ending in 1961 the increase was more than 200 per cent, or about 53 million. In the same period total population rose from 252 million to 439 million, or about 75 per cent1. Today India probably ranks fifth among the nations of the world in number of urban inhabitants, exceeded only by the United States, the Soviet Union, the People’s Republic of China, and possibly Japan. Although the proportion of India’s people living in cities and towns remains 18 per cent of the total, and although there is evidence of a deceleration in the rate of urban increase during the census decade 1951–1961 as compared with the preceding two decades, the number of city and town dwellers increased at a rate that exceeded the general population growth rate of 21·6 per cent2. It is probable that an ever-increasing share of India’s expected population growth in the next several decades will be absorbed in its urban places.
Hope it helps....
