Abstract

While the differential growth patterns of urban peripheral settlements around large cities continue to hold an important place in the urban research agenda, examination of regional urban systems from a theoretical perspective has received much less attention in developing countries. Based on demographic data of 1991-2011, an analysis of settlements in the National Capital Region of Delhi, India, reveals mixed spatial forms in the periphery of the traditionally monocentric Delhi. Our observation raises questions such as whether a polycentric, poly-nodal configuration, or a combination thereof, is in the making in the immediate periphery of Delhi. This emerging scenario has potential planning implications and questions the applicability of the traditional 'Eurocentric' theories to the evolving urbanization phenomena in the developing world.
