Is your City Too Big? Urban primacy in Southern India
Tuesday, September 16, 2025 12:00 PM at Zoom
Moderated by Xuefei Ren (Professor of Sociology), this talk examines urban primacy in Indian states, exploring its extent, underlying causes, and whether improved infrastructure can mitigate it. It discusses the policy approaches of South Indian states toward primacy, assessing whether dispersing industry and jobs to smaller cities can reduce urban concentration, and how best to achieve this.
