The authors have made an extensive study of urban land uses of metropolitan Bhopal. The study examines various categories of land uses as they exist today and suggests a plan of development for future. The Indian city, however, has its own peculiar structure which cannot be tested on theories evolved for western cities. The book is a significant contribution in the field of urban geography, particularly in urban land use studies and city planning. Well illustrated with tables, maps and diagrams the book would meet the requirements of urban geographers, city planners, sociologists and researchers.
