Urbanisation of India

There are three great socio-economic revolutions namely the industrial revolution, the agrarian revolution and transport revolution that in turn sparked of another great revolution, that is ‘the urban revolution’. Now the world is experiencing an urban explosion. The population avalanche in developing countries is mainly responsible for the spurt of urban population in the world. The explosive increase in population and the sprawling urban growth have far reaching social, economic, demographic, ecological and political implications in developing countries as it brings in the strenuous burden on the weary shoulders of the developing nations to create and provide urban infrastructure, facilities and services for the surging population.
