Why is India urbanizing slowly? Why do some cities grow faster than others? This paper examines the nature of urbanization and urban growth in India since the late 19th century against the backdrop of the unfolding demographic transition. It argues that (a) Urbanization within India exhibits a tight relationship with economic growth at the regional level (b) The demographic divergence between rural and urban natural growth rates since the 1970s that is attributed to stagnant agricultural productivity and rural literacy levels in large parts of India has slowed down the pace of urbanization, especially in the Northern hinterlands (c) City population growth rates peaked in the 1980s and will see a marked deceleration in the coming decades with substantial variations driven by investments in specific sectors such as Information & Technology (d) Human capital externalities in a period of demographic transition draw in migrants but also reduce fertility such that its relationship with city growth rates, as observed in Indian data is mixed (e) Labour mobility in India is high but is mostly male-dominated, semi-permanent, and remittance-based in nature leading to masculine urbanization with important implications for urban growth and urbanization. By integrating the demographic transition with urban processes, this paper explains India’s relatively slow pace of urbanization, the inter-city variation in population growth rates and the paradox of faster urban growth combined with slower urbanization in the North relative to the South.
Chinmay Tumbe is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics, Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A).

CPA: Panel Discussion Invite on Media Bought and Sold: Danger to Democracy
Dear Friends,
As you know the media seems to have crossed all levels of journalistic ethics where respect for facts, accountability and responsibility have been discarded for sensationalism at all levels. Democratic Indians have been particularly worried about the open calls for war by sections of the mainstream media, with issues concerning the people finding little or absolutely no mention in the 24 hour news available today.To discuss the dangers to democracy when what was intended to be a watchdog for the people so compromises itself, the Centre for Policy Analysis will be organizing a meeting at the India International Centre on 1 November, 2016. Reputed journalist, editor, columnist NIHALSINGH will chair the meeting and he will be joined by senior well known journalists to discuss the issues raised by a craven media.We request you to join us for what we believe is an extremely important intervention at this point in time.Media Bought and Sold: Danger to DemocracyDate: 1 November, Tuesday, 2016Time: 6 PMVenue: Kamla Devi Block, Hall 1&2, India International Centre(IIC), New Delhi.High Tea is served at 5.30 PMA line in confirmation is highly appreciated.RegardsSeema MustafaRSVPM.
