Answer:
Industrial locations are complex in nature. These are influenced by availability of raw material, labour, capital, power and market etc. It is rarely possible to find all these factors available at one place. Consequently, manufacturing activity tends to be located at the most appropriate place where all the factors of industrial location are either available or can be arranged at lower cost. After an industrial activity starts, urbanisation follows. Sometimes, industries are located in or near the cities. Thus, industrialisation and urbanisation go hand in hand. Cities provide markets as well as services such as banking, insurance, transport, labour, consultants and financial advice etc. to the industry. Many industries tend to come together to make use of the advantages offered by the urban centres known as agglomeration economies. Gradually, a large industrial agglomeration takes place. In the preindependence period, most manufacturing units were located in cities from the point of view of overseas trade such as Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai etc. Consequently, there emerged certain pockets of industrially developed urban centres surrounded by a huge agricultural rural hinterland.
