Urban Growth in the National Capital Region of India: Testing the Differential Urbanisation Model

Abstract: Recent research on the differential urbanisation (DU) model has examined the successive stages of concentration and dispersal of population in a set of hierarchy of cities at the national scale in many countries. Delhi, the capital city of India, and its adjoining areas, have experienced dramatic growth in recent years. In order to mitigate the adverse impact of growth, a National Capital Region (NCR) was delineated for co-ordinating growth related activities within the region. Based on the postulates of the D… Show more

“…Current and predicted stages of urban development – The research findings confirm those of Mookherjee and Geyer () that the National Capital Region was in the early‐intermediate city stage between 1991 and 2001 (Table and Figure ). The results further indicate that between 2001 and 2011, the National Capital Region moved into the next, advanced‐intermediate city stage of polarisation reversal.…”

“…Given that land development is posterior to actual demand, conservative strategy posits urbanization as a process with low financial and investment risks. However, the rapid increase in urban population and the inelastic land supply will exacerbate urban diseases, such as the emergence of slums within cities, lack of affordable houses, high rent and real estate prices, traffic jams, and environmental pollution (Mookherjee & Geyer, ). Local governments tend to adopt aggressive strategy to develop land and provide public goods for new developing rural areas.…”
