Measuring Urbanization around a Regional Capital: The Case of Bhopal District

Author

Abstract

The starting point of this study is the observation that many villages in India seem to possess urban characteristics. As compared to definitions of urbanization adopted by other countries, the Indian definition of urban area is actually unique in the world. One of the consequences of a restrictive definition is that it potentially excludes numerous localities. This paper consequently explores a multi-dimensional approach to answer the question of what is an urban area. [CSH Wp no. 6].
