Description
Extract from the introduction by Chris Johnson :
The bustle and chaos associated with Indian cities encompasses only 27% of the country's population. The other 73% of India's population still live in rural areas and villages spread across the countryside - yet across the world, half the population now live in cities.
Chetan Vaidya, the director of the Indian National Institute of Urban Affairs (NUIA) believes that India's urban population, currently around 285 million people, is likely to become twice this by 2030, indicating how important the urbanisation of India will be in coming years. Cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore are likely to continue growing while many smaller towns will become cities in their own right.
