Explain how the British administered urban centres in India
Answers
Answer:
The city life with its myriad problems is becoming unappealing to most and the peri-urban areas have been paying a heavy price for urbanisation. We need to stop pretending that it is the government’s problem and that there is time.
Broadly, an urban area is one that has a high population density, engaged in occupations other than food production, living in a highly built environment.
To appreciate the current problems of urbanisation we need a quick recap: technology was primitive and a majority of people were engaged in the production of food, while living in a natural environment. Technology advanced and just a few people could achieve the production of more and more food. This provided food security and encouraged the diversification of economic activity away from the farming field. More people were free to become full-time traders, artisans, musicians, scholars, etc., thus giving birth to urban areas. An urban area is one where economic activities are centralised. Urban population grew consistently although there remained equilibrium between urban area and its population. It was the industrial revolution of 18th century Europe that brought about a dramatic rise in urbanisation, i.e. migration of people from rural to urban areas. Factories pulled labour from rural areas, and urban areas mushroomed to accommodate these migrants.
