Provincial variation of urbanization and urban primacy in China.

Provincial variations in urbanization and urban primacy in China are analyzed for 1978 using factor analysis and regression techniques. The authors suggest that government policies have not only led to a relatively low level of urbanization but are also responsible for many of the regional differences observed. It is concluded that "low urban primacy in the eastern provinces is mainly the result of the urbanization policy of controlling the development of large cities that favours the development of small and medium cities. The spatial industrial policy of decentralizing industries from the coastal provinces to interior provinces encouraged high urbanization and urban primacy in the western interior provinces of China."

Is India overurbanised?

This paper questions the frequently posed thesis of India being overurbanized. The diverse connotations of the term "overurbanization" have been taken into account and tested against the Indian reality. It is concluded that on a net balance of positive and negative effects emanating from urbanization, there is no reason to believe that India is urbanized to an extravagant degree. Any continued adherence to the "overurbanization" thesis is likely to distort our perceptions about the vital role which Indian urbanization is playing in economic growth.
