Abstract: Urbanisation in India has accelerated, reshaping the demographic, economic, and spatial dynamics of its states. The Future of Urbanisation: Spread and Shape in Selected States examines emerging trends, strategies, and challenges of this transformation. It analyzes patterns of urban expansion, planning frameworks, and socio-economic impacts in selected Indian states. Part I explores strategic approaches, including policy measures, sustainable development, and infrastructure planning to manage growing urban populations. Part II highlights challenges such as infrastructure deficits, environmental pressures, and governance issues. By studying both the spread and shape of urbanisation, the work offers insights into sustainable, integrated urban development for India’s future.
