<br/><br/> The 21st century will witness a rapid urban expansion in the developing world. India, it is believed, will be at the forefront of such a phenomenon. This book acknowledges the role of agglomeration externalities as the cornerstone of urban public policy in India. Arguing that hypotheses of over-urbanization and urban bias theory - which articulated a negative view of urbanization - are based on fragile theoretical as well as empirical foundations, this book calls for proactive public policy to harness planned urbanization as resource.
