Abstract

Following this introductory chapter which comprises Part I of the book, there are eleven chapters and each of these chapters—written by an expert or by a team of experts—discusses a particular research question or questions about rural-urban dichotomies and spatial development in Asia. For ease of comprehension, we have divided the present volume containing twelve chapters into five parts. Part II of this book focuses on migration and this part consists of two chapters. Part III concentrates on the provision of goods and services and this part of the book consists of three chapters. Part IV focuses on conflict and this part consists of two chapters. The focus of the four chapters that comprise part V of this book is on reforms and their impacts.
