Urbanisation: From Mega-Cities, Mega-Regions, Mega-Corridors and Mega-Slums to Mega Opportunities

Chapter 5 in New Mega Trends, 2012, pp 61-80 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Mahatma Gandhi once said, ‘India is to be found not in its few cities but in its 700,000 villages.’ Though that may at one time have been true, it is no longer the case. With about 30 country bumpkins moving lock, stock and barrel every minute from Indian villages to become city dwellers, not many villages will be left in India by the end of this century.
