This book was released on 2023-04-10 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing urbanisation and industrial development are occurring at the expense of shrinking forest cover and agricultural land in South Asia. Various land uses compete with each other, reducing forests and farmlands. This book addresses urbanisation and peri-urban land markets, with a special focus on Bangalore, one of the fastest growing cities in South Asia. It contributes to historic perspectives on the spatial transformation of peri-urban locales, as well as providing much-needed empirical evidence. The book discusses issues related to the context of peri-urban land use, land transactions, demand supply relationships and land prices in the peri-urban land market. The steep rise in land prices of the periphery, rapid changes in land use patterns, active land transactions, growth of the real estate market and the challenge to implement efficient land use regulations are explored with the help of field evidence. Insights and challenges to land administration addressed in this book are common to other metropolitan cities, and the key message is that a separate peri-urban land policy is required for the major metropolitan cities of India and other developing countries. The book contributes to the understanding of how these spatial markets function in order to work towards an improved implementation of land policy in the context of dynamic rural-urban periphery. As such, it will appeal to researchers, scholars and students of regional, urban and agricultural economics, economic geography, urban and regional planning and environmental science. It will also be of great interest to city planners and policy makers, action-based think tanks focused on urban governance.

This book was released on 1976-11 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nineteen contributors to this volume include some of the world's leading urbanists and planners. They agree that urban planners now, more than ever before, are able to manipulate the environment and develop well-designed cities and rural areas. 'A book which raises so many questions in the reader's mind is certainly a good contribution toward a greater understanding of the urbanization process and, hopefully, toward the formulation of an urban theory. I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in the current trends or the future of urban development.' -- Journal of the American Institute of Planners, January 1978
Download or read book Development and the Rural Urban Divide written by Joby Simms and published by Socialy Press. This book was released on 2017-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gap between the rich and the poor, the urban and the rural, has led to a massive immigration from rural areas to cities. It is not uncommon for men to leave their households to find work in the cities, while their wives tend crops and take care of the children. This puts the extreme amount of pressure on families who are divided by economic forces. Rural-urban interactions, is increasingly recognised as central in processes of social, economic and cultural change in both cities and countryside. Despite this renewed interest, however, empirical studies of the scale and nature of the interactions between rural and urban areas still have a relatively limited impact on development policy and practice. Spatial policies such as regional development planning have traditionally been the tools used by policy makers in their attempt to encourage a better balance between cities and countryside and to reduce migration pressures on large urban centres. Sectoral strategies give a high priority to agriculture and rural development, on the assumption that this will help address rural poverty and that the benefits will be concentrated in the regions or rural areas to which these programs are directed. In many instances, however, this has not been the case, and the main beneficiaries often have been large farmers and wealthy or well-connected businesses. Meanwhile, the goods and services required by the new economic activities stimulated by these policies often draw from businesses located outside the regional boundaries, and rising incomes are often spent or invested elsewhere. The structural transformation of an economy during the process of development is a well-established fact. In this process a rural population mainly employed in agriculture turns into an urban one shifting towards industry and eventually services. Such a process has some clear association with the rural-urban distribution of income within countries as well as with their rate of growth. This paper is concerned with both of these macro aspects of the urbanization. It also aims to describe the nature of the urbanization process by testing for convergence as well as for persistence in growth rates of cities. This provides a complementary view of the urban transformation of a country to that of the macro-analysis. Development and the Rural-Urban Divide summarises and appraises theories of rural-urban relations and economic development and explores, mainly on the basis of country case studies, the conceptual and theoretical problems to which they give rise. There is a linkage between the rural and urban development. These linkages matter because rural and urban livelihoods are interconnected economically, financially, and socially.

Download or read book Poverty Reduction During the Rural Urban Transformation written by Alessandra Garbero and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on cross-country panel datasets, we find that (i) an increase in population share in agriculture is associated with poverty reduction once the longer-term poverty change or the dynamic is taken into account; (ii) rural non-agricultural sector also is poverty reducing in some cases; and (iii) increased population in the mega cities has no role in poverty reduction. In fact, the growth of population in mega cities is “poverty-increasing” in a few cases. Given that a rapid population growth or rural-urban migration is likely to increase poverty, more emphasis should be placed on policies that enhance support for rural agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. If our analysis has any validity, doubts are raised about recent research emphasising the role of secondary towns or urbanisation as the main driver of extreme poverty reduction.

Book excerpt: Winner of the Regional Studies Association's Best Book Award 2018. In the last few decades, many global cities and towns have experienced unprecedented economic, social, and spatial structural change. Today, we find ourselves at the juncture between entering a post-urban and a post-political world, both presenting new challenges to our metropolitan regions, municipalities, and cities. Many megacities, declining regions and towns are experiencing an increase in the number of complex problems regarding internal relationships, governance, and external connections. In particular, a growing disparity exists between citizens that are socially excluded within declining physical and economic realms and those situated in thriving geographic areas. This book conveys how forces of structural change shape the urban landscape. In The Post-Urban World is divided into three main sections: Spatial Transformations and the New Geography of Cities and Regions; Urbanization, Knowledge Economies, and Social Structuration; and New Cultures in a Post-Political and Post-Resilient World. One important subject covered in this book, in addition to the spatial and economic forces that shape our regions, cities, and neighbourhoods, is the social, cultural, ecological, and psychological aspects which are also critically involved. Additionally, the urban transformation occurring throughout cities is thoroughly discussed. Written by today’s leading experts in urban studies, this book discusses subjects from different theoretical standpoints, as well as various methodological approaches and perspectives; this is alongside the challenges and new solutions for cities and regions in an interconnected world of global economies. This book is aimed at both academic researchers interested in regional development, economic geography and urban studies, as well as practitioners and policy makers in urban development.
