“…These metropolitan regions throughout the country are diverse in their present and projected future growth rates. Existing literature shows that the economic and urban growth of these metropolitan regions are determined by geographical location, socio-demographic factors, historical trends of urbanization, economic status, and statelevel policies that attract growth and infrastructural development (Brar et al, 2014;Meiyappan et al, 2017;Vishwanath et al, 2013). A 2014 McKinsey report (Brar et al, 2014) on the future of India's economic geography ranked the state of West Bengal as a 'Performing' state with per capita GDP (2011) between 0.7 and 1.2 times India's average.…”

“…The Indian railway system is considered as one the key factors behind industrial development. Locations near railway stations have always attracted large-scale development in the peri-urban and rural areas in India (Bogart & Chaudhary, 2012;Vishwanath et al, 2013). In terms of the influence of roads, this study used the relative level of connectivity of individual roads as a factor attracting growth.…”

Identification of the Regional and Economic Contexts of Sustainable Urban Logistics Policies

Urban logistics policies have become instrumental in achieving sustainable transport systems. Developing and emerging countries still lag far behind in the implementation of such policies when compared with developed countries. This exposure gap provides an opportunity for policy transfer, but this is a complex process requiring knowledge of many contextual factors and involving multiple steps. A good understanding of those contextual factors of measures by cities may be critical for a successful transfer. Our study aimed to identify the different contexts of urban logistics measures or policies worldwide and to assess their significance for policy transferability. In this study, urban logistics measures discussed in the literature were retrieved with a systematic literature review method and then the contexts were recorded, distinguishing between economic development levels and geographical regions. The analysis revealed that the economic level and geographical location of cities both have a strong association with the type of measure implemented. Barriers and drivers were identified by assessing policy transfer between developed and developing countries. Institutional and physical barriers appeared to be highly pertinent for a range of measures, while drivers or facilitators were identified from specific problems in developing countries and the respective measures in developed countries. Thus, the analysis of contextual factors can provide a first response to the key challenges and opportunities of sustainable urban logistics policies transfer to developing countries.

“…The prospect of guiding this massive urbanization successfully in the next few decades demands a much deeper assessment and understanding of Indian cities and their trajectories. Although there is a rich history of case studies, demographic analyses [3][4][5] and some detailed investigations of specific quantities such as sanitation, slums, and crime [6][7][8][9][10], the present paperto the best of our knowledgeis the first detailed analysis of Indian cities as complex systems, where a quantitative assessment of many urban attributes is brought together into a common framework.…”

This paper attempts to create a first comprehensive analysis of the integrated characteristics of contemporary Indian cities, using scaling and geographic analysis over a set of diverse indicators. We use data at the level of Urban Agglomerations in India from the Census 2011 and from a few other sources to characterize patterns of urban population density, infrastructure, urban services, economic performance, crime and innovation. Many of the results are in line with expectations from urban theory and with the behaviour of analogous quantities in other urban systems in both high and middle-income nations. India is a continental scale, fast developing urban system, and consequently there are also a number of interesting exceptions and surprises related to both specific quantities and strong regional patterns of variation. We characterize these patterns in detail for crime and innovation and connect them to the existing literature on their determinants in a specifically Indian context. The paucity of data at the urban level and the absence of official definitions for functional cities in India create a number of limitations and caveats to any present analysis. We discuss these shortcomings and spell out the challenge for a systematic statistical data collection relevant to cities and urban development in India.
