The impact of urbanisation
Summary:
This paper deals with the impact that future urbanisation could have on medium-sized cities, drawing on work by the OECD and others. It has been prepared to help members of the SCAD (Social Change and Development Group) to think about their long-term future, and uses Thirunelveli, a medium sized city in Tamil Nadu, as a case study.(see Appendix) The paper identifies the various forms of infrastructure that will affect growth, different forms of growth, and potential sources of technical and other help. It concludes by identifying the main variables that will affect the growth of cities, and considers the possible environmental impact or sustainability of different sizes and shapes of cities.
