Cities Urbanisation and Urban Systems

The book is intended to be an introductory text on Urban and Settlement Geography. It offers a precise statement on the concepts in Urban and Settlement Geography, which a student at graduation level is supposed to know. It provides a sound framework for students on which they can build their advanced concepts.

The book describes the various approaches which geographers have applied to the study of urban and urbanism; the physical, socio-economic and the behavioural aspects of Urban and Settlement Geography. The book has taken global and Indian perspective and analysed the various topics from a completely different angle that is contemporary, radical and revolutionary.

The text is broad in scope and makes full use of cross-cultural comparisons and the changing urban problems.
