Metropolitan restructuring in post-liberalized India: Separating the global and the local

Modeling spatial variation of explanatory factors of urban expansion of Kolkata: a geographically weighted regression approach

“…Therefore, growth is not evenly distributed over time either. This situation indicates the lack of land in the central part for residential development (Bagchi 1987;Shaw and Satish 2007;Sengupta 2006;Roy 2011;Bhatta 2009) and the availability of sufficient land in the periphery including suitable environment. During 2001-2011, Sonarpur and Rajarhat area have faced significant changes both in builtup areas and population.…”

Analysing Urban Sprawl and Shifting of Urban Growth Centre of Bengaluru City, India Using Shannon’s Entropy Method

“…This pattern of growth, with the city core becoming increasingly saturated, and new urbanization centres developing at the periphery, can be traced to multiple factors. High land prices in the city centre and lack of large spaces for further urbanization have led to the location of many public sectors, local and multinational companies, and prominent educational institutions at the city periphery [31].

Conflicts in urban fringe in the transformation era: An examination of performance of the metropolitan growth management in Beijing
