<br/><br/> This book recognizes the importance of agglomeration externalities as a key element in urban public policy in India. It challenges the hypotheses of over-urbanization and urban bias theory, which present a negative perspective on urbanization, arguing that these theories rest on weak theoretical and empirical grounds. The book advocates for a proactive approach in response.
